Tasks for Votorola

Below is my work itinerary. I am currently working in alpha-two, developing key features for the upcoming beta.

Out of date, see instead: http://u.zelea.com/wiki/User_talk:Mike-ZeleaCom/p/vop.

in progress

v. 0.2.  Alpha-two

    - alpha-two is the first usable version (technically speaking)
    - it serves as a platform for initial trials
    - trial users will hopefully draft a more complete list of dev priorities
      (among other issues), and vote them up

  / == System - simplify setup and administration of local sites
  / == Polls - interface to collaborative drafting media
  /     - for voting on norms (laws, plans and policies)
  // - - above are done - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    == Polls - pollspace browser
        - navigable overview of cascade trees and branches, with
          integrated voting controls
    == Web - distributed voting controls and views
  /     - candidate referral links (vote for me!) (done)
        - results sparklines and other embeddable content
    == System - test and trial mode
        - reduce barriers for casual users, making it easier to try out
          the system without interference to its normal operation
    == Polls - user-declared polls
    == Polls - district residency assertions
        - self-assertion of voter's residency by district
    == Register - registrars
        - procedures and tool support for registrars
        - elected and appointed volunteers who monitor the register,
          and maintain specific branches of the trust network
    == Polls - implement the verification interface
        - so people can verify the reported poll results
