Re^3: poll ideas quest 2025

[Arunbear]

Now there's the dilemma of authorship - talexb had the idea, but you did the hard work. We don't really have a good solution for this.

Also bear in mind all of this has to fit in the Voting Booth nodelet, so having fewer options is usually better.

Give the authorship to talexb.

I prefer the polls that give more choices, but if that provides technical challenges, or if there's a history showing that longer polls get fewer responses, then pollsters can pick whatever subset makes the most sense

[talexb]

I'm happy to share authourship of this poll. :)

[Arunbear]

Unfortunately, we don't have a mechanism for sharing authorship like that. In the past, I've often given up authorship of my own poll ideas by assigning them to pollsters. I could do that in this case if there are no objections. It's the nearest "solution" we have for indicating more than one author.

[talexb]

Well, my suggestion got the ball rolling, so I guess I should be the author. Perhaps we can add "With thanks to .." at the bottom of the poll?
