it might as well be.  i've heard rumor (don't recall whether i heard it from
dan or not) that dan has dropped any further work on it.  there is talk that
a new version will be built in php, but no one's posted the spec it'll be
built from, alpha stage applications to test for usability, etc., so i
suspect nothings happening at all with it.

any w.e.o. app can be released from the current "constraints" of the
template in use.

w.e.o. has login/password for all members, along with functions based on
their priv.

it's been requested more than once that we have the ability to run votes
and/or polls on w.e.o.  it doesn't make any sense to develop it twice just
so we can one version that's removed from w.e.o.

if we want to interface with the community for a vote or a poll, we should
be doing that where the greatest portion of our audience frequents -- w.e.o.

noting all the issues above, i think so.

more closely aligned with it.  *way* more closely aligned with it.

><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

it's a unified login idea that's still in the theory stage right now.

putting the voting/polling app on w.e.o. also removes the burden of
continuing to create disparate data -- yuck.
