Word of the day: 酝酿. It's in Kingsoft, Adsotrans, and Dict.cn (which, like so many Chinese websites, doesn't work if you don't add the www in front). My electronic dictionary has it as:

酝酿
yùnniàng 造酒的发酵过程 ferment; brew; <比喻 fig>做准备工作 make preparations, deliberate on：~候选人名单 consider and discuss the list of candidates|大家先~一下，好充分发表意见。Let's deliberate on it first so as to express our opinions in full.
