Hi Stas,

Since in CoC discussion it was mentioned we may need anonymous voting,
I've created a patch that allows anonymous polls to be created:
https://github.com/php/web-wiki/pull/7
The results still recorded per user, but everybody can see just their
own vote (for logged in users) and total summary. People with shell
access to the server will be able to see the votes, unfortunately I
don't see how to avoid that without serious rewrite.
Also, once the poll is created as anonymous it can't be turned into
non-anonymous without resetting the results or manual admin action.
Please review/comment. Is it's good, I propose to deploy it on wiki.php.net.
This seems useful. I do wonder whether we should use by default for
RFCs. It's interesting to see how different people vote, and knowing who
voted which way means you can ask them what their objections were.
Though, anonymous voting would mean no potential for harassing people
for the way they voted (though they're not necessarily free of
harassment for their opinion - many people make theirs public anyway).
One concern I have with the patch is that it doesn't appear (by my
reading of the code) to show who voted. I think it's important to know
who participated in the vote, even if we don't know which way they
voted. Consider that real-world elections have electoral registers, at
least in my country. Perhaps we could implement this by showing the same
table of votes as the normal one, but covering up the Yes/No columns
with a colspan saying something like "concealed".
Anyway, that's just my thoughts.
Thanks for writing a patch!
