You can't design by committee.
Let me set the record straight. 1) The lullabot team aren't amateurs and there is no question about their potential ability. 2) I agree Design CANNOT be done by committee. The proposal was for an open and transparent bidding process where all design teams could participate and have a chance at wowing the world with their skills - and get paid for it. Lullabot would (I assume) be one of the bidding parties. I never suggested that all design ideas be put to a vote. I suggested that a vetted list of proposal be presented to the community (perhaps the top 3 or 4 candidates from the vetting process). The whole point of an RFP process is to separate the wheat from the chaff - and to provide transparency in the process so that community dollars are spent in a way that doesn't show favourtism. Thats all. andre
