Thanks jose Cool. Something that would be very useful and a good way to start would be to work on a new voting/polling application. We have something that is adequate enough that we haven't allocated time to replace it but has some definite failings. The current code is here:: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/fedora-vote/?root=fedora You'll probably be most interested in the votingdb.sql file as the plan is to discard the rest of the code and recreate it as a TurboGears application. I can write a bit more on Monday about what the vision is for the new application but one thing you can get started on right away is enhancing/rewriting the DB tables to meet some of our new goals:: 1) multi-issue ballots. We want to be able to say there will be an election right after Fedora 7. FESCo, The Board, and the following referendum will be on the ballot. - Note that different groups can vote on different topics. So someone in cvsextras and cvsdocs might vote for different issues than someone in cvsextras and ambassadors. 2) Polls. The current code does not support referendums (like "What should the name of Fedora 7 be?") I hacked up the copy on the server to do that *instead* of voting for candidates for a steering committee but it's not the way to go for the future. We need to provide real support for polls and referendum. (I can provide you with the schema for the additional tables I created on Monday.) 3) Other ideas you think would be good for a voting application. I'll also search my notes to see if I can find anything else that would impinge on the DB while I'm organizing them. Since the plan is for this to be a TurboGears app, you can also just start learning TurboGears and I'll provide more help with the specifics of the voting app next week. Thanks! -Toshio
