Hi :) I don't remember there ever being a poll about how the lists work. We were suddenly just told that it would change and asked to give it a fair go and then make comments later. Does anyone know how to set-up a poll?
The one on LinuxQuestions seemed to get a lot of votes but it's a bit of a specialist site that Mac and Windows users probably don't go to at all. Also the popular poll was about a contentious issue that gets hotly debated across all different distros. Something about the inner-workings of the LibreOffice community might be a bit outside the box for them.
