I would like to add a Survey to my web application. Basically, I have 10 objects … imagine Restaurants, and I would like to ask the same 10 questions about each object … for instance rate the food, service, atmosphere, etc. Is there a good Ruby plugin that anyone has used that could handle this? I’ve checked out the acts\_as\_rateable plugin, but that would only work for rating my high level object, ie: a Restaurant. Running a search on the web yields the “Civic Duty” plugin, but there is no demo, and I’m not sure it will work for what I want to do. Has anyone implemented the Civic Duty plugin, and maybe could point me to a demo? Can anyone recommend a different Polling/Survery type of plugin I could check out? Thanks in advance! LAB ---

wrt surveys (vs polling) If you have full control of the survey questions, then it can simply be another model associated with the object But if you are looking for a dynamic database schema (eg let users build the survey questions on the fly), to my knowledge, everyone I’ve talked to with this requirement have built their own (including myself) –linoj
