I've added a questionairre page to the Elections page, to which people may add questions they
would like the candidates to answer.  Candidates will be free to answer
(or not) as they see fit (at their own peril of course).  Thorsten, I
would appreciate your assistance in a) publicizing this; and b)
editing the list of questions at the time we'll hand them out.

Thanks,
Matt
