Meetings usually are unbearable. People spend a lot of time listening things in which they are not interested or they knew yet. Most of the people don't have any chance to speak, and moderators can bend the debate to their own interests. New technologies offer the ability to improve this, but how? The ideal tool would let every user adds their opinions and proposals. It would order all of them in a frame easy to follow. It wouldn't need any moderator. And finally, the ideal tool would be very easy to use. With all those objectives this web tool has been designed. It is very similar to a forum. The differences are: the system distinguishes between opinions and proposals, each proposal can be voted and shows a voting box, the proposals are ordered in a folder-like frame maintained by the users themselves, opinions are in a pull-down panel under every proposal. With these features, whatever debate can be express by means of this tool.
