I AM SO HAPPY. I mean, not only have you been super awesome working on the site so far, I'm really excited about the poll system improvements -- it was one of the projects I was most hoping someone would pick. (That and the business stats. And both of them made it, since annares is doing business stats!)
I will try to grab you in irc later on in the week so we can plan things out a little, pull the list of all the poll-related bugs you want to work on this summer, and see what order you should tackle them in, which ones depend on each other, etc. (And of course see whether you have ideas that aren't mentioned!) From there, I think you've got the right idea -- we can build a timeline for your summer, since this project is likely to be a lot of patches in bits and pieces instead of one giant project. That way, we can evaluate your progress based against the schedule we set.
So, first of all, don't let this distract from your exams. :) Second, start thinking about what order you want to approach things in, logically speaking -- I suggest starting with the smaller, easier ones so you get familiar with the system and can ramp up your perl knowledge as you go.
I'm going to go through Bugzilla and assign all the poll-related bugs to you. Even if you don't wind up doing them all as part of your summer, I want to make sure that nobody winds up taking them, since the poll code is going to be in such flux this summer!
