There aren't too many people on the Sorcery Team to be voting. Perhaps we 
should
talk about how Team Leads are to be nominated/voted? What scope of voters? We
decided at the last dev meeting that there /would/ be a vote for Leads and 
that
the PL would initiate the vote and tally the responses (however, your current
PL has been busy and didn't initiate a vote, but there's one already going,
so... ;)). I believe we also said that all developers have a vote in choosing 
a
Lead, but correct me if I'm wrong or it's a bad idea and we'll talk. ;)

Shall we start this process as we described at the meeting? Keep the current 
one
going?
