Hmm, I think ITT contributors should really be included in whatever we call
the community - they provide a useful service, even if the forum is not
based at the maemo.org site.

We need to push some way of allowing their contributions there to accumulate
karma on maemo.org and encourage them to register accounts for the next run
of the council elections. The same goes for IRC contributors, if there's
some way of measuring their input in terms of karma, then they should also
be included and allowed to vote simply due to their contributions.

I do agree with the General that everyone should have a maemo.org account
though, it's the same in the (political) elections in the UK at least - you
need to register to be allowed to vote.

Cheers,


Simon
