Why don't you start submitting patches for it and later apply to become poll module maintainer. http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/drupal/MAINTAINERS.txt?view=markup In general I believe Dries would rather find module owners than list himself. :) -sp

Its presence in core is holding up its own development.

i agree with the thrust of this discussion (and the spin-offs) about slimming down core, removing not-so-core modules from core, etc.

however, back to the original discussion at hand: removing poll -- does that mean i shouldn't bother working on http://drupal.org/node/51561 at all? i'd like to see a lot of improvements in poll, and would be willing to help work on them, but i don't want to waste effort if it's all going to be re-done, etc.

should we make a group on groups.drupal.org for "poll developers"? i wonder how many of the DEP-related activities (e.g. all the almost-effort going into event, event management, etc) should be moved to a group there, too. i just created my account on groups.drupal.org, so i haven't checked it out yet in detail, but should this be the wave of the future for collaborative development, co-maintainers, etc?
