Re: Draft of @summary text for HTML 5 poll

Hi Maciej,

I reread the email several times. It has me puzzled too. Josh, are the
following meant to be likert scale [1] questions for the poll?

Likert-scale questions can be good for measuring the degree of
respondents' feelings or attitudes about something. Format for choices
usually are:

1. Strongly disagree
2. Disagree
3. Neither agree nor disagree
4. Agree
5. Strongly agree
