The list that I own takes political positions and then advocates from those positions. A software program named eVote allows Quaker-meeting style consensus formulation. I would like to use this with LISTSERV. 1. Is it possible to embed software in LISTSERV? 2. At what level should this be done? The code is available, in a programmer's kit for $800. User kits cost $80. Voter manuals cost $15. All of this can be tailored to an individual list's purposes. I would probably only use the discussion function after an issue is in the "motion" stage, and mostly use the software as a fair way to develop consensus and vote. I am *not* a programmer and understand the general idea and not the details.
