Polls App for Voting

[elmq0022]

It would be nice to have a polling app built into chipy.org. We could use this app to do community surveys or vote on talks.

How would this work? I like the idea, but I have concerns about anonymity and SPAM.

We could do short lived polls during a meeting and not leave them open very long. Also a log in whould be required and cut down on spam, I hope. In terms of being anonymous, I would say we have that information for a short time. When we close the poll the summary results could be stored in one table and the actual submissions could be deleted. Maybe there's a trigger that does those actions when the poll is closed so we don't have to clean up manually. Should be mostly straight forward I think. Sent from Proton Mail Android

I suppose we could put the poll behind auth and not track the submitter.

Sure that would work as well. We could record submission the content of the submission separately. I would want a field that says they submitted to the poll so they couldn't submit multiple times. They would not be able to update their submission with this implementation though.

On our silly things I don't know how important the anonymity really is. At last night's meeting we were all voting out in the open by a show of hands. I guess there's no name tied to that though.

Having some short lived data and deleting would allow for an update for a bad entry and was why I suggested that approach.

Maybe bring it up at a board meeting and see if people think this would be useful and how often we would use it. Also how concerned would we need to be with tracking this data. Does the PSF have some guidance as well?

It might be fun to engage the community with a silly monthly poll.

Maybe we make the whole thing ephemeral, use websockets and only shows results in real-time? In the spirit of web guild, that's a pretty cool teaching project. I think my initial concerns were shaped by the eVote stuff we did last year, but polls are different than elections.
