[GRASS-user] PSC: Input Requested

[Sampson, David]

Looks good....

Is there a way that a user can cast multiple votes... For instance I
could pick the top 3 or four people etc I would want to cast a vote for?

Are there other settings?

I assume it tracks IP? So as long as no one starts with the IP spoofing
we're ok?

Thanks for the first iteration...

Right. Well, the poll that I suggested is a simple extension to the
content management system that is running our lab website -- I am sure
that there is something similar for what ever is running the OSGEO
site... that would obviously be the best place to host it.

just for the record here is an example of what I am suggesting:
