I tried just now and following are my thoughts :
1) The first page is good. But a clear heading like "Vote for
President " will be good rather than "Real President Nominee".
This
depends on the election name in the DB, for real elections it'll be
something like "Fedora Board F-9 Election" (or similar).
2) When the user wants to know the info about a Nominee, once he
clicks the link "info", it is better to have a pop-up, rather than
redirecting the whole page.
3) A non-uniformity is there in the Nominee's information. It is true
that the control directs us to the user homepage. But for this
President Nominee stuff, it is good to develope a generic page having
information populated regarding that Nominee.
4) Why the site is re-directed to cnn.com/politics
<http://cnn.com/politics> when the user request for more information
on the President Ranking page ?
The CNN Politics bit was maybe a the worse part of
the joke but I was
kinda refering to the US Primaries etc (i'll change this in a minute),
the info links for 'real' elections will goto the Wiki page(s) with the
candidate information, until someone higher up in the food chain says
they want it done a different way, I'm going to stick with this.
An early mock up on this concept looked absolutely disgusting from a UI POV
5) After confirming the Vote, the user is redirected to the initial
home page. But the following appears at the bottom.
"Build time: 0.115s, Page size: 2.23KB"
It is truely required to display to the end-user ?
That'll be disabled on the
final implementation, just wanted it there so
I could go every now and then to make sure it was happy.
6) When tried to view the results, by clicking "Community", iam facing
this problem.
500 Internal error
I'll keep an eye on this, I can't see an immediate
reason for the 500
error though.
Overall, it looks fine.
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
With Fedora 9 out the door we hit a very busy time for elections,
the previous system was, well lets just say, not optimal.
So I accepted the goal of creating an application by our
post-release election season that would integrate well with FAS
and would allow a different method of voting, Range Voting.
If your not familiar with Range Voting check out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_voting the essentials however
is that you rank candidates from 0<-># of candidates, if you don't
like them, just rank them 0.
In the future, the application will not only allow the Board and
Steering Committees to hold elections, it will (hopefully) become
available to SIGs and Steering Committees for any time of
poll/call to vote.
This is where you all come in, it's impossible for a small group
of people to find every possible mistake or bug in ANY item of
software, so the more people we can get in to test it and report
bugs/issues/thoughts the better!
All I ask is 10-20 minutes of your time, whenever your free over
the couple of days to test and provide feedback.
Instructions:
1) You'll need an account on the test instance of FAS at
http://publictest10.fedoraproject.org/accounts/ (PLEASE) do not
use your normal password and you don't need to do CLA etc (I've
removed that requirement in the elections app for now).
2) Please direct your browser to
https://publictest10.fedoraproject.org/elections/ and test away!
3) Try voting etc, make sure that you *can* view the results at
https://publictest10.fedoraproject.org/elections/results/fedora
but can't view the results at
https://publictest10.fedoraproject.org/elections/results/president
Notes:
* I'm aware the UI is absolutely awful, there is already a ticket
open for this (https://fedorahosted.org/elections/ticket/4) please
feel free to add items there.
* Any errors you encounter that are 'unexpected' to you, please
file a ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/elections/newticket
setting Milestone to 'Release 0.1.0' with full reproduction steps,
and the time it occurred (TZ=UTC date)
* Any other feedback can be directed to the elections-devel list
(elections-devel(a)lists.fedorahosted.org
<mailto:elections-devel@lists.fedorahosted.org>)
After 5am UTC on the 1st June both elections will end and the
'results' should be public and hopefully we'll have a decent
election app!
Thanks a lot & Happy Testing,
Nigel Jones
p.s. Sorry to those that fall asleep during my e-mail - I nearly
did too!
p.s.s. Thanks must be given to Toshio, Ricky, Luca and Mike who
have all assisted in this release
