Once you vote, you can add more ideas on the topic and suggest future questions. Having voted I'd like to go back in a week or so and see how the results are changing - can't find a link to view the results without voting again. But maybe this will work.

ALIA also has a blog too, where you can read what's on Sue Hutley's mind. Sue is the recently appointed Executive Director of ALIA, and a fellow Auroran. Congratulations Sue.
