https://www.loomio.org/ is an interesting service for collaborative
discussion & decision making. In particular, it has an excellent
visualisation of Apache style consensus:
+1 = thumbs up = Approval
+0 = sideways thumb = Abstention
-0 = thumbs down = Disapproval
-1 = raised hand = Veto
These then get collected into a pie chart. If contributors choose to do
so, they can also include a short 1 line explanation of their position
which then gets embedded below the chart.
The downside of Loomio is that the embedded discussion capability is
relatively limited compared to a full mailing list.
It seems to me it should possible to use some relatively simple markup to
embed a similar feature in mailing list discussions and then visualise it
in HyperKitty. Perhaps even something as simple as:
[+1]
[+1 this will make a nice addition to our feature set]
[-0 I suspect this will cause us maintenance hassles later, but if you
really want to, go ahead]
[-1 this is completely out of scope]
