FWIW, the ASF voter tool (originally written by Roy; which leads me to
believe that is what you are referring to) requires SSH logins to cast
votes.  So, uh, I don't know how that'd work for OpenSolaris - unless
there's a box that all eligible voters have an SSH account on.  BTW,
it's fairly easy to do dry run ballots with all voters with the ASF
tool - we do that every time before a 'real' vote is conducted.  --
