# Development and Contributions

+ The plugin was originally developed by 2GLux.com for Joomla 2.5 and 3 with the original plugin name *Sexy Polling*.
+ After the *Sexy Polling* plugin was removed from the web and the support was not continued, a fork of the plugin was migrated to Joomla 4 with the new plugin name *Sexy Polling Reloaded*. The migrated plugin still supports Joomla 3.10.
+ Further contributions are welcome! Use the download or support link to get to the Github repository.
