Description Brion Vibber 2009-05-28 20:46:15 UTC
Tim, we've got some requests for additional SecurePoll work to prep for the board elections. Minimum requirements offhand:

* Support preference voting (if not already implemented)
* More compact vote storage so large numbers of votes can be downloaded and sent around for counting without download timeouts

Robert, can you go ahead and add the other bugs that are key priorities as dependencies on this bug entry? Thanks!
Comment 1 Andrew Garrett 2009-05-28 20:47:53 UTC
Us on the elections committee need to get off our collective asses and throw together a list of stuff we need for SecurePoll, I'll send an email tonight and try to get this thrashed out.

Little thing on the side: does completing this issue make extension BoardVote obsolete, and should we prep it for archiving?
Comment 3 Robert Rohde 2009-05-28 22:29:43 UTC
I'm adding 18973, 18974, and 18976 as dependencies.

I think these are the biggest places the software fell down.  The first should be easy to address, while the second two are harder.  18972 was also a major problem for us, but the Board Election will probably be small enough that it doesn't become an issue this time.  (Depending on the approach, addressing 18974 might also solve 18972 anyway.)

Some of the other issues were also important but they were either rare problems, or reasonable workarounds existed, so if they aren't addressed this time then it is probably fine.

In terms of enhancements to make life easier for vote workers, 18967 and 18975 would top my wish list.
Comment 4 Robert Rohde 2009-05-28 22:42:29 UTC
I forgot to mention:

Though not critical, I'd also consider addressing CentralNotice bug 18977 as having a significant level of importance before the next vote.

Since the world didn't end, I assume this was adequately FIXED.
