I would have created it on WE, if I had known that we had a poll application on WE. I don't have the luxury of working with Wayne directly anymore, so am not a the root of new developments all the time.
I have taken the poll I had created off of FB not to confuse people We will upload the new WE poll once ready. I tried to to do this tonight. I am so sorry, I can't, I am exhausted and my mind doesn't think straight and doesn't want to kick into gear, to do more. I am on overloaded at work and I am struggling with a serious health issue. I wanted to help when Wayne wrote. Will look at it tomorrow again.
Cheers

Dear Patricia,
Excellent work! Thank you very much for moving forward with the preparations for conducting the poll based on the nominations received. I am also in favour of conducting the poll in WikiEducator using the poll widget as Dr. Wayne and you have discussed. As per the tentative schedule announced earlier in the other discussion thread for nominations, we will run the current ‘Nomination Session’ till May 10, 2012’ and the rough consensus poll from May 14 to 20, 2012. I think it will give sufficient time for the idea to reach maximum number of community members and time for you to try poll widget.
After the poll and selection of a name, we may create a WE work group to formulate the business procedure for this new community initiative. It will be nice to have all the contributors to this discussion thread and the main thread on nominations on board the WE work group as well.
Go ahead and create the WE page for poll! – These are thrilling moments for our WE community! I will also be joining you and Dr.Wayne there.

No worries Patricia,The poll widget is relatively new and we have trialed this with a few polls - it should work rather well for this purpose.Let me know where you set up the page in the wiki to keep track of this project and I will help set up the widget.CheersWayne--On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 10:29 AM, Patricia Schlicht <pschli...@col.org> wrote:
I agree with you, Wayne, just didn’t know we had such application.

Hi Patricia,
Great to see international community collaboration in moving this idea forward.
I'm wondering whether it wouldn't be better to host the poll on WikiEducator. For two reasons:
- We remain true to our community values associated with the free cultural works definition and commitment to using free software. (The trouble with a Facebook poll is that the data will default to all rights reserved and will not be openly licensed and Facebook is non-free software.)
- Hosting the poll on WikiEducator will ensure that we can keep an accurate history of this important process.
We have a poll widget on WikiEducator (see for example the current poll on design decisions for the OERu).
Thanks for your initiative in setting up a poll -- but at the same time, lets consider walking the talk in terms of our open values for community initiatives ;-)
Cheers
Wayne

Dear All,
I loved the exchanges and the community participation in trying to find a suitable name for the new WE activities of establishing a “‘WikiEducator Community College”.
I thought perhaps we could make a bit easier to vote on the many suggestions made, and so I have created a poll, using a FB application.
I hope I have captured all suggested ideas for the naming convention. Please cast your vote by clicking on the link below. You will be asked to log into your Facebook account after your clicked on the link, which will take you to the Poll Application. Click on “Go to App” and you can cast your vote.
To give people a chance to do so, they will need a bit of time, so how about we say cast your vote by the end of Sunday, May 6, 2012?
Is this acceptable to you all?
Anil, I hope this is helpful
