At flock, a few people talked about a new web application for voting on wallpapers. Jenneh produced some mockups and we discussed how we might go about implementing them in time to do wallpaper voting for F20 or F21 in the new app. For those new or returning to this, I'm posting this as a short summary of where various bits are and what's currently done and (/me crosses fingers) hopefully achievable: One idea at flock was to have something based on the mockups deployable in time for the wallpaper voting. At flock we talked about whether we could create something that just implemented the parts that made the ballot and voting smooth for people using the application and worrying about the rest of the app (notably, the admin interface and submitting the wallpapers) until later so that we could get it out in time for the next election. This would be somewhat tight scheduling but pingou's been working on some code and he thinks we can hit that deadline. After the initial rush is off, we would want to try to finish the other parts of the interface and release all of that as nuancier. We would also start to think about how to share code between nuancier and the new elections application that fchiulli has been working on at this time -- whether that would be to merge the two together or to move some code into a library that either application could access... We're not sure precisely whether tight or lose coupling of the two is the best plan but there's definitely room to share some of the implementation. We currently have two repos of direct concern to the application: * https://github.com/fedora-infra/nuancier * https://github.com/fedora-infra/nuancier-lite The nuancier repo has the mockups. I think we're eventually going to want to merge everything into this repo. The nuancier-lite repo has pingou's work to implement the minimal interface that we'll need if we're going to deploy in time for F20 voting. There's also the new elections code (rewritten from TurboGears1 to flask) if anyone wants to consider sharing code/theming/etc -- but that's a little ways off yet (we won't be merging anything in time for F20's wallpaper election). It lives here: * https://github.com/fedora-infra/elections -Toshio _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
