[Noisebridge-discuss] do you guys want a uservoice account?

[Ian]

i would say an application designed to do this is better than a
mailing list because important information is quantified. if i start a
"lets have a weekly pinata" thread, after n email messages, its hard
to see who is for and against the idea. also, people dont normally
respond to threads just to say they want it or dont want it. the
barrier of participation is much higher. you are cutting a lot of
people out.

at the end of the day, its just a voting site to see what people want.
