Yes it's working, I tested it ;) My last my mail was a bit confuesd, sorry.

I like to use the plugin for a client-project. But the girls form
www.fczeitz-frauen.de are not really familiar with xml. I thought about a
form to enter the question and answers. Therefor I asked if the plugin is
really finished. If you say YES, I will teach the girls xml ;) If you say
NO, I (will) try to release the plugin. 

I had some ideas about a "question"-table and a "answer"-table, so I can
uses dbforms2 for editing. Its easier for the client ;)

If you say we have to use xml-files, I will use it! 

Offers FluxCMS or Poppon some classes to edit and expand xml-files with the
help of forms. I think about such cool stuff like the dbforms2-classes.

IMHO, overwirte the old one is not so good. Because if someone wants to know
the result of a previous question and could not rember the right ID,
question and answers it is realy hard ;) And the db still has the results,
that means a lot of trash.

If I add a new plugins-section how does the vote-plugin knows which sections
is the current section? Do I have to put the new section always to the first
place?

Anohter idea is to use one xml-file for all votes. 

Something like this:

<votes>
  <vote id="1">...</vote>
  <vote id="2">...</vote>

</votes>

In the configxml we have to use a parameter, for example called
"currentVoteID".


Do you know what I want/mean? I like your plugin, I simply want to help
release the plugin and want to do it in a way that bitflux like ;)
