Hi..
Here's some idea for a useful improvment module for Dolphin to exchange Polling tab. I'll be glad if I can write it on my own, still yet I didn't found any API for writing Dolpin modules.
OK, so Advanced Polling is basicly similar to regular Polling, but it should include:
- category tree for Polls (votings).
- restriction for some tree branches to only one vote per user - so there'll be no anonymous or duplicated votes.
- ability of passing votes from some category to another user choice.
The last one is a little bit tricky, but it's where the power of such engine show up. It'd allow to chose users trusted in some issues (category) to decide by you - so your vote is not wasted if you don't have time to decide by yourself. That way every vote made by user with passed "voice ticket" is counted twice as if both you and that user voted.
It's dedicated to larger groups with some sensitive problems.. where every vote counts, yet some people don't feel responsible enough to decide about some issues - still they may not want to waste their voice (it's in situation where second improvment is also applied so there is only possibility of one vote per user).
So that's pretty much it. It's not so very complicated but can be quite useful for some middle to big communieties where decisions made through Dolphin are important part of working system.
Thanks in adnvance for any feedback.
Greetings,
Chri
