Architecture
############

A poll can be in one and only one of those states:

* enabled
* disabled

Results can be in one and only one of those states:

* visible
* not visible

Poll can have multiple choice activated, determining how many choice a
user can do.


Note
####

Within Plone, it's possible to vote for a poll only if it is enabled
AND published.

Results are displayed only when the *Results Visibility* is set to
visible.


Migration
#########

If you migrate from an oooooold PlonePopoll version (1.x) that's not
Archetypes based, create an external method in your Plone site:

* Id: migrate_popoll
* Title: (whatever)
* Module: PlonePopoll.Migration
* Function: migrateToArchetypes

Then click the "Test" tab of this external method.
