+// the questions are:
+// 1. how to store votes in the database? as a count on the article? this would be less accurate but ok for the beginning <- I am not a fan of this approach 
+// 2. what votes do we count? (anon, per ip address, cookies?) to build relations between votes we need a concept of users based identification <- yep! 
+// 3. also downvotes? <- so I think to start we shoudl copy what HN does agreed :)
+// TODO figure out how HN implements votes (I think non-registered voters can't vote for example)
+// re: users: I can implement some hacky user auth to start with... or maybe that's something we delegate to rw (totally_not_fb)
+// hn voting 
+//  regiistration required
+//  min karma required for downvoting (comments only?) 
+// so we could start writing tickets at this point ... ? makes sense
