LJ_Dev Poll

I'm working on a project management element to LJ development, and I have a little poll for all LJ developers. Please only take this poll if you have ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED in an LJ development project. I'll have another poll for "lurkers" shortly.

This means a lot to me, and it should only take a few minutes of your time. So please fill it out truthfully. Thanks!
