[NeXus-tech] opinion poll might be useful

[Pete Jemian]

NeXus tech committee members:

Recently, in discussions about the future directions of EPICS, a web 
tool was used to allow people to decide the relative importance of two 
different ideas randomly chosen from a list of proposed ideas.

Such an opinion poll has been created for some of the topics facing 
NeXus today.  The initial list of items was assembled from a subset of 
TRAC tickets and some recent discussions.  You are encouraged to try 
this out.

This is a continuous opinion survey where the questions are presented to 
you in a random sequence.  Continue to cast votes until you grow tired 
of it.  The individual votes are not available to you, but a summary 
score is provided on the results page.  (Interesting feature there is a 
world map of the votes.)  You may also submit ideas of your own for 
presentation.

View the results at this page:

If you think it useful, we can expand this to the NIAC or the entire 
NeXus community (that is my intent but maybe that, too, should be one of 
the items).

Pete
