We'll do whatever is needed to get you guys going (within reason) - but
I highly recommend you stick to simple actions/procedures.  You don't
want to complicate things by creating voting websites and such.  Put
in a rule in place by which 3/4 (or similar) of the QAC has to agree
on a term and move on - do the vote during your weekly meetings and
proceed that way.  Its much easier, more personable (and this topic
needs a bit of a human-touch) and its much quicker and lends itself
to progress.

We're veering a bit off topic (this would fall into the "how can we get
more people helping and translating" camp) - again, if this is deemed
a must we can look into deploying it.  But we do need to make sure we
don't get sucked into looking into various bells-n-whistles and forget
about our main focus and work.

Just an opinion - so has a consensus been reached on QAC and how to
proceed ?  Or should those interested setup a meeting to really nail
things down on IRC ?

Salam.
