RE: Electronic Voting -- how about NOT for free?

["Terry Aitken" <terry@flowerfantasy.net>]

We could offer the bulletin for free TOO but see where that gets you.
This ballot would be a part of the "MEMBERS ONLY" COMMUNICATION.

Gerry; It looks good so far. Send me an id and password and I will play some
more.

I like the format, could you do the same thing for the symposium and or
other ballotts? Is there a limit to the number of people voting?

Not long ago I wrote that although I knew (or could learn) how to
implement the electronic voting scheme, I didn't think I could get
something workable by the deadline for next year's ballot. It seems I
was mistaken.

The current version of my efforts is at URL:

http://irisarian.dynip.com:8080/aejaks/app?AEJAKS_SCRIPT_NAME=execVotes.tcl

It has the complete AIS ballot for this year, available for anyone to
examine by clicking on the button for anonymous viewing. The entire
process of voting may be undertaken, except for saving the votes. A list
of those iris voted for is available. A warning is given if more than
the allowed number of votes are entered, but nothing further at this
time (the final version will of course not count sections with too many
votes).

If instead of anonymous login, you enter a user ID and password, the
function of saving your votes becomes available.  If you save your votes
and sign on again, your votes are restored so that you can resume the
process or change your selections.

The button for showing totals is not functional at the time of this
writing, but since none of you have voted there is nothing to show
anyway. It should be available Sunday.

If you are interested in exploring more (and I hope many are), please
email me requesting a user ID and password, and use it to enter and save
some votes--they can be how you really voted, but not necessarily.

I am interested in any feedback you care to give.
