1) survey and/or voting applications are common in
   content management systems yet missing from ours.

2) we've talked many times about running useful or
   even goofy surveys on w.e.o., but never had any
   mechanisms in place to do it.

3) the application is placed where the largest portion
   of our audience already is.  ie, it's where the
   users will expect it to be.

4) we can take advantage of things already in place
   like login and priv levels.

5) we can put votes out to the general population
   with ease.

6) we can run votes/surveys that either require or
   don't require being logged in.

give me half a chance, i'll think of more reasons to put it on w.e.o.

thanks,

.jeff
