Standalone polls can be added in the templates...any external PHP code
can be added this way.  We have a module called "PHPWrapper" which
allows you to include PHP code in the templates.

Yes, these are called "Subtitles" or "Subheads" (Subheadings).  You can
create these in your article via the WYSIWYG editor - there is a button
for "Subhead".  In the template language you can lay these out as you
like.  I can send you an example if you like.

Not officially, but someone has developed a plugin for this.  We plan on
officially supporting forums in the future.

Same answer as #1.

Not at the moment, but there are plans for this sort of thing.

You can create a "print friendly" page the template language.  A plugin
called the "PrintBox" is about to be released which can do this sort of
thing.

Yes, these are called "short urls" and it is an option you can turn on
when you create a publication.

Can you explain what you mean?  Yes, you can have both static and
dynamic web pages if that is what you are asking, or you can include
static content inside of dynamic pages.

No, Campsite is issue-based for now.  In the future we will make it more
flexible.

Our new online manual, where you can attach comments to articles:

Yes, we could make one.  I'll add it to the TODO list.

This one of the features for 2.4, the next version of campsite, which
will come out in a couple months.
