Cool .. what challenges do you see? I think getting the flow right can be a little tricky. Let me know if you have any ideas on how to do this right.

I think this could be an interesting space to employ some sort of visualization. I'm thinking something like http://www.archimuse.com/mw2006/papers/lowndes/lowndes-fig2-... for ideas.
Technically, I'd want something like this to be real time, shouldn't be too hard with ajax. There would also probably need to be supporting collaboration features, like chat.
What we've done is provided each user with a set number of votes - by default 10 per room - and each user can put as many votes into one idea as they'd like. This forces them to make hard choices about which ideas are the most valuable to them.
This economy of votes has worked out surprisingly well for us in practice, and people become very thoughtful about how many votes they want to expend on an idea. I'd be curious your thoughts.
