Re: [opennic-discuss] [PROPOSAL] Using the DokuWiki as our voting platform

I just pushed an update to the repository:

https://github.com/opennic/dokuwiki-opennic-vote-plugin/commit/83637978dce9b90f94723169cc759bffe9fbc625

Important features/fixes are:

+ Added link to /user/<voter>
+ Added link to raw voting results data on GitHub: This allows recounting of votes using the raw JSON data that's stored in the Git repositories
+ Added "Invalid" option for spoilt/protest votes: We'll have to figure out how we want to handle spoilt/protest votes. Right now, the code implementation counts spoilt/protest votes the same way as a normal vote option.
+ Added warning that user votes are public visible: "All votes are public visible. Other users are therefore able to tell what you voted on!"
* Fixed flock deadlock when database file doesn't exist

Are there any more comments on this or any objections about the general idea? If not, I think we should move on with starting a voting about this.

It can be seen in action here: https://wiki.opennic.org/votings (scroll down to the end of the page). With the latest commit (https://github.com/opennic/dokuwiki-opennic-vote-plugin/commit/4d5dd3075168fa383508b29f8486f881746c7bc8) the plugin became more stable and ensures that all votes are recorded now.

Once a voting expires (`close="2018-10-18"` field), it is automatically closed, no new votes are possible and the results are displayed.
