Description Dereckson 2012-11-26 22:58:13 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #42447 +++

Currently, to create a new poll, it's required to:
# write an XML file
# import it through a CLI command

It would be interesting to allow the poll creation directly on wiki, or to enable there the possibility to locally import an XML configuration file.
Comment 1 MZMcBride 2012-11-26 23:26:58 UTC 
I'm not sure why XML was ever involved. A proper UI would be ideal. As a second choice, I'd take the current scenario (requiring shell access).

I don't think supporting user-generated XML (locally importing XML configuration files) is a viable option, unless the goal is to try to punish users. XML sucks.
Comment 2 Dereckson 2012-11-26 23:30:56 UTC 
Actually, when the bug 42447 were opened, it were opened with an XML configuration file, so I thought you were familiar with that.

So this bug should be "Add an interface to setup a poll".

*I* am familiar with it, because I've done the config for the election for the past four years now.  That doesn't make it a good idea; XML is horrible.  

Adding a config interface is pretty complicated thanks to SecurePoll's pluggable architecture.  But it's definitely something that should be done.

Dupe of bug 26960?
Comment 5 Greg Grossmeier 2013-11-15 23:59:02 UTC 
This is biting us in the posterior enough that I'm ceremoniously upping the priority to "Normal" (hold your horses there).
