Seemed to be no good way to close a poll, other than deleting it 2. Comments can be deleted by anyone, it seems, my UTC-hint was I also looked into STUdS[0]/OpenSondage[1] and I decided in a minor favor of dudle: + dudle has a nicer time-selection for admins + dudle has links which defaults to english + dudle allows setting a custom link name "*/dgt_screenshots_party/" + dudle has a "maybe" option whereas the benefits of studs: + studs only allows admins to edit comments + studs fork OpenSondage is in git[2] studs looks to my eye to be implemented mainly in PHP, so if anyone would want to dig in, that's a factor as well. Pleft[3] is also worth mentioning, implemented in Python, is AGPL, and in git. But the fact that pleft does not currently have any possibility to have "open" polls where anyone can participate disqualifies it for our meetings (unless one would go roundabout and create 50 participants and paste all the single-use links on the wiki or so).
