Let me first say this is website overall is a great idea well implemented.
That said, I had an idea to share: I think this website would function better in terms of giving unbiased input on what the most individuals feel are are the most promising ideas if you make the posts anonymous (assign each participant a random pseudonym?) and list them in random order. The idea is to make it more difficult for organizations to "stack the deck" by asking their members to vote for something en masse, which will dilute the votes of people who actually take the time to read and think about all or many of the postings. Also, random ordering of postings would give a more scientific measure of public preference, as the newest postings would not get "first look" and therefore be more likely to be voted on.

I do not agree with totally anonymous posts, but do think avatars could be employed, so that you could pull the range of ideas and posts by an individual.
