its' already there. see questiontype:

but, I still think that information should be on a table "higher" than
question. i called it "POLL", but, to avoid confusion, it might need to be
renamed:

Before we start implementing, are there objections to this approach... of
allowing votes and polls in the same application? I can't think of any,
but that's why I'm asking the rest of you :)

Woah there, bronco. Now you're talking about integrating weo with the
polling application. Which would undoubtably lead into a UEUE (dammit, i
can't remember what that stands for anymore: Unified
Evolt...) discussion. I'd like to see this not be stalled by the
(large) undertaking of UEUE*.

And I don't really see the benefit of restricting *poll* results to
certain groups (restricting vote results can be handled already).

thanks,

* yeah, it's a pretty big deal, which makes it hard to discuss
details... which makes it hard to progress. it may have to wait for
another CodeFest, which is why we don't want to wait for it to be
implemented
