[OSM-talk] election 1 Voting system prototype (was: Move tagging RfCs/voting to extra list?)

[Sebastian Spaeth]

OK, I just coded up a little prototype. Consider this a small test of 
the system. I propose to set up an osmvoting mailing list to which vote 
proposals are sent. Subscribers will have to just insert one of the 
following:
+1
-1
0
at the beginning of a line to vote (pro, con, abstain) and press reply. 
(Your mail address will not be published anywhere). Done. You can try it 
out now. Hit reply, insert +1,-1 or 0 at the beginning of a new line 
somewhere in the mail. Replies need to be send to osmvote at sspaeth.de 
(the mailing list should be set up to do just that automatically). A 
script evaluates new mails once per hour and records the votes. You can 
see the results of all votes here:

Try it out and vote positive and negative to try it out (there is 
currently no restriction to one vote per mail address, but that is trivial).
