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?

Your Development Team Is at Capacity. Here’s How to Keep Critical Work Moving!
The problem is not that your team lacks priorities.It is that maintenance, delivery, and long-term improvement are competing for the same people.
For companies running business-critical CFML, ColdFusion, or BoxLang applications, that pressure can be especially difficult to solve. Experienced developers are not always easy to hire quickly, application knowledge may be concentrated in one or two people, and a generalist may need significant context before taking ownership of the work. A permanent hire can also require a significant investment in recruiting, compensation, onboarding, and long-term capacity even when the immediate need is a specific project, urgent maintenance, or a period of transition.

Copy of BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 5 : Reasoning Without the Guesswork
Reasoning-capable models have been usable in BoxLang AI for a while. params passes straight through to the provider body, so params: { thinking: { type: "enabled", budget_tokens: 10000 } } for Claude, or params: { reasoning_effort: "high" } for OpenAI, already reached the API. What never worked was reading the reasoning back. It was parsed out on arrival and silently dropped. In 3.4.0, that's fixed, and it's fixed the same way for every provider.

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.
