Help the Bitcoin Community Reach Consensus

The recent discussion about changes to the Bitcoin protocol have shown that the Bitcoin community is unable to reach timely decisions with a transparent process. Despite starting as a trivial change, removing an artificial limit to the maximum number of transactions, the discussion quickly degenerated into heated discussions about non-issues, name-calling and speculation, that to date did not produce a working long-term solution and is unlikely to do so, given the large number of competing proposals. It is clear that the Bitcoin community needs tools to guide the decision process into a more productive direction. The first step in the decision process is to publicize the various options, who endorses which option and why. To this end we want to build a reputable tool that can be used by the members of the Bitcoin community to express their goals in a pseudonymous way and weight their opinions based on the stake they have in the ecosystem.
