Please support new types of polls and extend the workflow

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current qualities for a poll with Polls are still very limited.
In addition, the discussion that leads to a vote at all is unfortunately not currently recorded/linked or faded out.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see an extension of the possible survey qualities.
There is a wonderful open source discussion and survey tool. It's called Loomio. https://www.loomio.org/

In this ticket I would like to discuss with you how polls can evolve towards a more comprehensive and qualitatively deeper workflow.

More information about the extended qualities can be found here:
https://help.loomio.org/en/user_manual/polls/proposal_types/

I would also find a link to Spreed/the Talk apps exciting and useful here.

Scenario: From a chat discussion, for example within a working team, a proposal is created, which can then be discussed further and finally voted on. This concept distinguishes Loomio from common survey tools. For Polls this would be a real improvement for work contexts where sometimes more is needed than just asking for an appointment. Because it includes the importance of the discussion that leads to a vote. And of course the chat would be the right place for that.
The idea would therefore be to be able to create a survey directly from a discussion. Surveys with even more qualities, as I would like to address with the reference to Loomio.
The outcome of a discussion should also always be sent automatically to all participants by email or system message as soon as the vote has expired.

What do you think?

Thats a nice implementation. Maybe we can integrate polls in the talk app, so discussion can take place there and polls stays polls. With re rework, we have a better backend layer. Creating APIs would be the next evolution to that. Similar to #660

Thanks for your positive feedback!
Yes, the API development is certainly a good support for a realization.
What further procedure do you suggest?
And what do you think about the support of new survey types that is also proposed?

In the release announcement for Nextcloud 18 I read that Calendar 2.0 has received a Talk/Spreed integration. Maybe that's a suggestion to further develop the idea as I described it in my scenario above? nextcloud/calendar#563

@dartcafe Have you had a chance to look at Loomio's different poll types?

Sorry. Not until today with any quality.
