While I want to stress my position that there is nothing wrong with
advertising your proposal (including the source of this now-too-long
thread), it *would be* out of line to ask everybody in your organization to
vote for your proposal (outside of the exceptional workplace -- such as
Gluejar or Equinox -- where everybody might actually have an interest in
Code4lib).

I think it's important to point out that we have no transgressions; just a
cautionary tale.

We've known for some time that our current system is vulnerable to (likely
unwitting - as Jonathan's email pointed out) abuse and our simple splash
screen proposal would probably solve any potential issue.
