I actually like the idea of featured article, as means to get us to work together to improve articles, this can be a great way to polish some older articles. We don't need a poll for that, the article nomination is sufficient. All we need is just make it known and people willing to participate.

As for the rest here is a little summary I made for myself:
 * Quotes: We are using FeaturedQuote to display quotes. It is automatic, each time the MP is loaded a qoute is randomly selected from the list to be displayed.  To add new quotes to the list simply follow the syntax i.e. add new ... line.
 * Polls: We are using Help:Polls extension to display the most recent Polls on the MP, and then move them to Poll Archive.
