I'm not against putting something like this in the FreeBSD 'zine, however, I doubt it'll make it into the upcoming issue. Perhaps the July issue. I've been working on a poll script that I planned on using for various stuff, so that won't be a problem. However.. I've noticed alot of people don't bother to vote (if that's what you'd call it) so I doubt the results would be very accurate. Not to mention the number of visitors compared to the actual amount of users. Personally I don't think the poll will produce any usable results.
