and, at the end, the theme that will get the best rank will be selected ?
Mathematically, there's something strange :
Suppose I rank the themes 2, 3, 5. Two of us doing the same.

someone else then vote "10, 0, 1"
Results : 14 points for #1, 11 for #3 => #1 is choosen.
Although we are 2 that prefer #3 and only one that prefer #1.


How will we handle results saying : color scheme (question 1) #1 wins, 
and continuity (question 2) #3 wins.
who will win in this case ?

What happends, if the average ranking is poor for all themes ? We try a 
new contest ? (sorry to imagine the worst case)

wikipedia (at least fr.wikipedia) has lot of pages about voting system 
(who says "trolling" pages ?). None of them is perfect (US have choosen 
a president with less ppl voting for him than for his opponent if I 
don't mind ;-) ). so I don't want this system to be changed, I just 
suggest the system to be a little bit more explained.
