No problem doing a poll on http://www.vis-sim.com/3dsceneBB/, the form is setup for users to create polls...

I wasn't suggesting that _apps_ link statically, merely that the plugin DLLs link statically against their (non-OSG) dependencies. > > Perhaps linking to static dependencies could be an option in the CMake > generation process, with the deps binary packages including static > libs, and the default being static.

Or perhaps we could use Gordon's forum for that? Well, it was more of a philosophical question, but a poll would be interesting. Using the ML for that will be horrible, although easy to do. I don't think trac supports polls out of the box. If we could have a web-based poll on the forum site we'd only have to publicize it on osg-users. What do you mean with the 4th mailing list for 64 bit, b.t.w?
