right.  these would be considered polls or surveys and the rules governing
how the application functions would change for these.  for example,
polls/surveys would probably display the results up to that point.

voting application and survey application can (and should) be the same
application.  however, there are a few minor differences in how they're run
that the application will account for.

that's where our opinions differ.  i just don't see the need to create so
much distinction.  i don't see any reason why the privs on w.e.o. can't
equate to voting privilege.

yes, isaac and myself.

ah, that would be the cause of confusion then.  i'm not even going to
consider the implications of ueue on other applications until i see more
concrete development of the ueue concept and prototype.  there are just too
many variables in that to consider right now.

thanks,
