Jarifa now supports polls, allowing Jarifa users to vote for their most valuable BOINC projects. The users have to log in, and then they will be able to vote for the projects that Jarifa offers them. With this new feature, projects like Extremadurathome can leave the power of choice in the community, by enabling this feature. The software enables the two most voted projects, each day, week, month or year (it is set up by crontab, so it is possible to configure it in a wide range of time units) automatically.
