This summary is also posted to the Maemo developers' list and the Maemo Bug Jar blog.

Can someone provide a link to allow users to vote for these results?

You can vote for any bug report after logging in to Bugzilla, going to a specific bug report and clicking on "Vote for this bug". Note though that your total number of votes is restricted to 20, if I remember correctly.

20 per component, so if I counted correctly up to 360 votes at the moment :-)

What about adding a short sentence to the Bug Jar

"Register at http://bugs.maemo.org to vote your preferred bugs and enhancement requests."

johndoe32102002's post got me thinking along those lines. I'll definitely be adding something to the Bug Jars, but as Andre has reported elsewhere, folks new to Bugzilla can find voting confusing. Therefore, I'm now thinking I need to add illustrated step-by-step instructions to the wiki.

Searching and submitting bugs would be the next topics to tackle.

What is confusing beyond having to register?

From what I understand, some people don't immediately see that they're not done when they tap the "Vote for this bug" link. They still need to check the "Enter New Vote here" box and hit the "Change My Votes" button on the next page, but that's not always obvious.
