Tasks for Votorola

beta-one release

    - first usable version

  / == Web - rough cut of Web interface
  / == App - clearer visualization of delegate cascade in voter interface
  / == App - restructure configuration, scripts instead of XML
  / == App - altin facility
  / == App - activity window
  / == App - summary descriptions for services and subserver
  // - - above are done - - - - - - - - -
    == Register - WP_Set - Web registration page
    == Mail - set/change passphrase - or maybe use OpenID
    == Elections - voter command 'count'
        - show the overall results
    == Elections - voter-defined elections
        = add necessary voter commands to meta services
        - for mail, split off an unauthenticated meta-service devoted exclusively
          to bootstrap help
    == Elections - add text-based elections (policy and law making)
        - people-only elections will gain no traction without parallel text elections
          (interests depend on text for clear expression/consensus)
        = integrate: drafting + voting
        - bare minimum (manual cut and paste) recombinant text
    == Register - voter command 'get'
    == Register - strict compliance with terms of use for the Google Maps API
    == Register - seeding and policing
        - bootstrap notification of pre-registration (and nomination)
        - questioning of registrants
        - tools to aid voters and registrars in policing the register
        - registrars, and registrar elections
    

beta-one trial

    - City of Toronto, plus any other regions/municipalities that wish to participate

    == Deploy
        = set up subserver
            - office-defined elections: Mayor intitially, then Councillors,
              federal and provincial ridings, and so on
            - voter-defined elections: any that cover entire jurisdiction
        = post directory of all electoral offices (regions/municipalities), for voters
            - maybe to discussion list, as Wiki page
    == Initiate
        - get test voters started
    == Operate
    == Plan refinements etc., based on feedback
    

synchronization interface

    - req. for higher jurisdictional elections, and for synchronized sites
      (commercial and non)
    - fleshing out the design sketch of the synchronization interface, and taking it
      to the next stage
