I would suggest not making the in-progress results available until 
voting is closed.  Knowing the current standings can change the outcome 
(some people decide not to vote; some people try to drum up support for 
their favored, but loosing proposal).

I don't think this'll be too much more work, but for this type of 
process, I'd like to see an "approval" voting system in place 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting).  Basically, people can 
vote for as many of the options as they approve of, and the option with 
the highest vote count wins.  Approval voting has several advantages, 
especially in a process with several minorities (projects).
