Do you have favorite tools and algorithms for collaborative decision making and/or voting? Please share.

Also, I would appreciate responses and feedback on an old post of mine titled "Better Online Voting": http://djwonk.tumblr.com/post/42305919307/better-online-voti...

Some areas I've followed include... papers about blockchain technology applied to voting... cryptographic consensus algorithms... I'd like to see what else people recommend. Thanks.

My problem is not to find a good tool/algorithm. I rather experience the problem to get people from unstructured (no tool/algo) to structured decision making (any tool/algo).

For example, finding a date for a meeting can easily keep a few people busy chatting in a WhatsApp group. A link to http://doodle.com/ is ignored. It might help, if WhatsApp integrates a simple pool mechanism into group chat.

Annotation: Please, use a good UI. Not a chat bot, which leads to even more messages.
