Bugs and Suggestions

Enhance the posting system so that we can create a poll which will allow users to vote within the message and then view the results. I don't know how your forum message database is setup, but let me explain in more detail.

new db message table entries:
poll_id = foreign key to a new message_poll table
if null, then its not a poll

message_poll table:
poll_id = long (primary key)
question = string
answer1 - 5 = string
answer_votes1 - 5 = long

On the new message page, if they say its a poll, replace the message's Text box with a question box, and 5 answer boxes.

When you submit, it will display the message question followed by up to 5 radio buttons or links for each answer. When the radio buttons or links are clicked, the answer_votes* column for that answer will be incremented.

The current results would be shown on the message like a bar chart:

1) ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] 85%
2) ]]]]]]              15%

If they want to see their vote in the results, they have to refresh like they do with message voting.

List all current collaborative projects and links to a prject page.

This should be a project management area where project members can discuss issues and ideas, checkin/checkout code, submit documentation, and check the status of the project. Non-members can participate in any "open" discussions, request to join the team, view screen shots or download betas.

This will be the home page for the project where non-members can read design documents and the status of the project. Only project members can work on the project or participate in "closed" discussions so the project will need to have different levels of security for the members. Only project leaders or their designates can update this page and its security settings.
