Repost of previous post due to technical difficulties with the poll; please adjust links accordingly.

Please take a quick moment to go through the poll and give feedback re: the comm to date. Your choices are anonymous; aggregate results can be seen by all. If you want to provide more detailed feedback but aren't comfortable doing so when signed in, this post like all POETREE posts allows anonymous comments without a captcha.

N.B. based on how people respond, we might be changing certain aspects of comm navigation, posting schedules, and future comm content. The poll itself may be sprinkled with light-hearted jokes, but ultimately alee_grrl and I take such feedback very seriously - we really do appreciate you taking the time.

Thank you so much for sticking through it a second time - I know it's a long poll, and you are epically awesome for doing it twice.

Re: Python - does that make us PUZZLE-A-POET LTD? ;o)

[alee_grrl]

Worked fine for me. Thanks so much for putting the poll together, jjhunter! Looks great.

[jjhunter]

This was the third time I posted the poll -- i.e. manually filling out every. single. line. every. time. (well, I copy-and-pasted for iterations #2 & 3, but still.) I love Dreamwidth polls, but I hate the fact that you can't change anything about the overall settings once you post them even if no one has responded to them yet.

[alee_grrl]

Eeep! Sorry you had to go through and repost it three times. Thank you for all your hard work on this!

[lnhammer]

For my posts, the translations themselves were all previously posted in my DW/LJ, one post was recycled with revisions from an old post on my LJ, and another was extensively expanded from a post on forkedtongues.

[jjhunter]

Wonderful -- thanks for the feedback.
