I think it would be nice if we could submit poll suggestions in some way other than posting a suggestion in 'Perl Monks Discussion'. Perhaps an email address or a web form?

We could add a 'suggest' link on the bottom of the Vote Booth node. The suggest link could be a mailto link or a link to a page with a form. Personally, I prefer the web form, because we could put a disclaimer on the page along the lines of 'Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. We strongly suggest reading the past polls first.'

Perhaps it would be better to not put a 'suggest' link in the voting booth node, but provide the link in the results page? I'm interested in what others think about this. Also, if we decide to implement a suggestion method, then I think we should also give proper credit for suggestions which become polls. Maybe we could put a line in the results page like: "This poll was suggested by brother merlyn." . . .
