I have been tinkering with the idea of setting up several polls or surveys in order to better get an opinion of the coldbox community. However, I wanted to ask the community what polling software or services they believe are good. I would prefer a solution where I wouldn't have to host it, but more of a service that can generate the HTML for me, sort of like: http://www.questionpro.com/poll-software.html. Or maybe a survey solution would work also. Anyways, I guess the less maintenance I have, the better. What are your thoughts? What would you recommend as far as polling or surveys goes?

Coming Soon: Version 4 Docker CommandBox Images with Enhanced Performance
CommandBox Docker images were the first CFML docker images and have nearly 2 million pulls, since their inception, to date. It's been a source of pride at Ortus that these images have been the most popular and reliable way to run CFML in containers and we are so very pleased to announce the next evolution, which will be the v4 images which run entirely on the BoxLang CLI and represent a significant overhaul of the image architecture.
These images are now available to test by appending -snapshot to your existing version tags and wil be released as stable, once CommandBox v6 emerges from release candidate status and is published as stable.

Inherited a CFML Application With Few Tests? Here’s Where to Start!
You need to change an application that has been running for years.
It might be a ColdFusion customer portal, a Lucee application supporting internal operations, or a CFML system your team is preparing to modernize. People depend on it, but some of its behavior lives in old tickets, scattered documentation, and the memory of whoever has supported it longest.
Now a release is approaching. You know more testing would help. The difficult part is deciding where to begin without putting every other priority on hold.
Start with one important workflow and build evidence around what it needs to do.

The open source Coldfusion based Soundings project looks like an interesting survey project. Located here:
http://soundings.riaforge.org/
I have yet to use this but from the literature it sounds like a good solution: I will be looking to implement a survey in the near future so if you could let me know how you make out with this or any other solution that would be very much appreciated. And I'll do the same. Thanks.

I'm a bit biased, but I think Soundings is a good solution, although it doesn't meet your preference to be a service. If you do use it, or try it and don't like it, whatever, please let me know.
