Yes, the app can be planned so that with only a tiny bit of extra work, it
could handle theforum-style voting, and fun community polls. Basically you'd
allow a flag to set either vote or poll (former showing number of votes
only, but no results until finished; latter showing results while in
progress). And the priv/group system would allow you make either open to
certain groups.
