==Reasons for voting==

The user community should steer the upgrades of the Rachel GUI and Gosia. This system will not differentiate between upgrades to the GUI and to the Gosia 'engine,' so that the [[programmers|programming contributors]] can decide on the most effective way to make upgrades based on a greater understanding of the codes.

==Programming decisions==

Upgrades that can be made by simple upgrades to the GUI will be made in the GUI code, since this will result in a shorter time to implementation than an upgrade to Gosia itself. Some upgrades will require a change to the Gosia code itself. This will be determined by the programming contributors, but suggestions for coding are requested of the user community as well.

==Voting system==

A preferential voting system [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferential_voting] system will be created online to make sure that the most important upgrades to the user community are given the highest priority with some exceptions.
