Fair enough, even though I would like to be more actively involved, I simply
don't have the time at the moment ... voting could give all mentors an
indication of the popularity of their ideas though couldn't it?
Maybe that's a good idea. Let all the people vote, but just to show mentors and co-mentors what the community wants. Then...is up to them to vote whatever they want...
Thanks for the idea!!! I hope we have to discuss this topic (because it would mean we were selected...)
