No... we accept votes one idea per patch.

Suggest you pick a favourite idea, (if want to ensure wou= ld be considered for inclusion before coding - ask about the idea first), t= hen write a patch. (Or patch series).

Sometimes you'l= l need to write the patch in order to test the idea - and perhaps you want = it anyway, even if the idea is not accepted for the main repository.

We are not short of insight as to where things need to go, = we are short of people with the time and skills to execute those ideas succ= essfully.

In some cases it is rather simple in gschem like for example just decide wh= at attribute name to use but in other case there might be good with more te= xt about in particular implementation details. There might be need to list = different algorithms, reference white papers or list advantages/disadvantag= es with different solutions. It would also be possible add an extra sub fol= der with documents for this purpose if necessary.
