I don't think we need to vote on the content of the list. I usually lurk 
and don't post, and it's been because I've been feeling like I've been 
making "mud huts on a very windy beach." And making them by committee 
decisions in meetings. Thank you for summing that feeling up so perfectly!

I came to the conference this year to find out if that's what everyone felt 
like, or was I missing some key core technique that kept projects from 
turning into these mud huts. The conference helped me figure out that yes, 
it is often like this, and I came away with some ideas for keeping the dang 
straw from blowing away before you actually get it into the mud and on the 
walls. That was a good thing.

There aren't clear borders on what we are doing. If there aren't clear 
borders, I don't think voting is an option. What would we vote on?
