Unlisted poll experiment

Continuing the discussion from Adding a Poll in your post:

To make a Topic Unlisted I believe needs Admin rights.

On the Topic page, Click the Spanner then choose, Make Unlisted.

It seems this needs to be done after you’ve added the topic, not at the time of posting. There also appears to be some debate on the degree of “invisibility”.

Anyway to continue the experiment, this is a poll in an unlisted topic.

Is this the best way to implement voting for a subset of Open Knowledge members?

  • yes
  • no, this topic wasn’t very well hidden
  • no, this does constrain who can vote well enough
  • no, there’s a better way I’ve explained below
  • I didn’t find the poll and couldn’t vote
0 voters

Thanks for trialing this. What do you think so far?

I agree with

but if a group really wanted a technical solution to restrict the vote to their group, you’d need another solution because:

  • you can’t see who’s voted
  • you can’t email a link to just your group.

It’s probably good enough for the moment - I was just thinking ahead based on things I see happen in the mail forum and GitHub.
