Mako is working on:

  • Embeddable elections for mtvU
  • Selectricity

Justin is currently working on:

  • Embeddable elections displaying votes that are over.
  • Right now, the views are filled with complicated loops and array references. If possible, create back-end methods that order the arrays before hand, specifically by degree or victory in each case (not just that of the winner) and then present those to the views.
  • Support for custom styled widgets

There are several ways to make this possible. One way is allowing people creating elections to upload their own background images, with specified constraints for pixel size. Another is to give merely choices of color schemes pre made. - Creating your own Selectricity skins

  • Improved visualization over time

This problem may be at the conceptual level as well. What is it that people need to know about elections occurring over time?

Justin has completed:

  • Embeddable Widget scaling:

The voting and results page for embeddable widgets should now be functioning and should scale as a function of how many candidates there are.

Alyssa is thinking about:

  • Animated graphs
  • Outputting data directly for use in Many Eyes and Swivel.

Other things that need to happen:

  • Improved testing functionality
  • Work on the SMS gateway
