Proposal: Make imports private by default

Thanks, I don't think I ever got around to those posts.

Well, the eigenpoll where never designed to be used as a feature request
system, so the rank on the ranking page may seems a little strange. 

The ranking on 
http://all-technology.com/eigenpolls/dwishlist/story.php
is an acceptance vote and should be okey for this type of thing.

Here we agree ;-)

I don't agree here as a developer it is nice to have some feedback
on what the users want without being flooded with mails.
The developer still decide what gos into the app.

Well, I strongly disagree here. 
Ranking provide much more information, and when you have the 
users ranking you can generate results for many of the known 
voting systems.

Well, eigenpoll where designed specific so that it could be used 
to get feedback from users without login.
The philosophy is that it is better to get much feedback than little
feedback and most people don't bother to make a username to take a poll
and that gaming is fairly easy to spot.

Especially people who know a lot have many projects and are very busy
and this type of people is the target audience for the eigenpoll.
