Hi Julian - still fairly new to GS and particularly incorporating plugins, so bear with me 
- couldn't get yours (gallery or poll) to work as expected - removed exec-php and the gallery plugin now appears to work (nice, thanks) The poll plugin though only appeared as a poll form once - after that all I see is the poll results (all set to 0%, logged in or out) - I know this is alpha...
There are some great plugins being developed by GS gurus, but for newbies one thing that is lacking is a bit more structured documentation e.g. dependencies, assumptions made when adding plugin x or y. To some extent that also applies to themes (eg any that use Zegnat's menu need to flag that).
Is there any merit in one of the 'elders' creating guidelines for plugin creators in terms of how they could more clearly document their additions - this http://get-simple.info/docs/plugin-creation only covers the logic of the plugin creation itself - docs would save a lot of repeat questions / head-scratching in the forums and probably speed up the adoption/dev of what is intrinsically a great CMS.
For those contributors speaking English as a second language, even a choppy 'Google Translate' version is better than none for a newbie like me!
Anyway, keep up the great work! Hope one day to be able to add at least a theme or two to say thanks.
Cheers,
Adrian
