The idea about using electoral lists is cool too!
It’s at the heart of the project, at the heart of any democratic process.
Probably though it is easier, at this first stage, just to have the chance to follow the votes of one other user.
As of now we just follow all and every votes. No distinction between legitimate one and others.
But adding them is technically not that difficult, mostly a matter of database fields. The trouble is management. How do you add or remove someone from a list? How do you list participants?
And adding more criteria should be quite easy: we duplicate the fields containing info about votes and rename them (letâs say âintopicâ âsmartâ etc), we add the buttons to vote for each category for each post, the âfilterâ right menu and weâve got it!
Won’t be easy at all. You only have to look at SlashDot to see how a mess in functionalities it has become.
Ultimately it’s a democratic system. Which happens to be implemented as a forum. The goal is for everybody to vote according to a voting method. Right now it’s approval voting.
I canât still do it myself cause Iâm having some troubles installing the software on my local apache.
Theoretically, you will only need ruby on rails, PostgreSQL, and subversion. If you need help, or have a server with SSH access, I’ll be happy to help!!!
Then we’ll be able to link our servers together.
Salut, Dario-shanghai
