I like it.

Though I think it lacks a "connection" to the members' profiles and such. IIRC the login to wiki and opennic "members" page is still separate, which means there is (at least theoretically) no connection between some wiki users and members and there's even no requirement to show your email anywhere, which is one of very few of our "identity measures"; a way of identifying people and making sure that they are actual people and not bots and such.

It's not that it'd be hard to make some sockpuppets and vote on the ML, but it's pretty easy to see how an account/address has been active and maybe investigate a little.

What I'd like to see is members' emails being available (at least for logged in members) and then having the same login for the wiki, linking the "member" profile (with their email) from the wiki / vote page so that we have at least some form of identifying people-

Otherwise it looks great.

Hi all,

I've recently been working on a DokuWiki plugin to allow OpenNIC members to start votings in a centralized place that is more cleanly, straight forward and easier to use: https://github.com/opennic/dokuwiki-opennic-vote-plugin

The plugin was enabled on our wiki.opennic.org instance since a few months but was not mature and stable enough. 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.

To create a new voting, one has to browse to "https://wiki.opennic.org/votings/new_voting_name_here?do=edit" and fill the textarea with


====== Piwik ======
<columns 100% 30% 70%>
<devote title="Test Voting" close="2018-10-18">
  * Option 1
  * Option B
  * Other Option
  * etc.
</devote>
<newcolumn>
<code>
Long, detailed text of what is being voted on.
</code>
</columns>


This creates a new wiki page that is automagically included into the /votings page where all previous and currently open votings are displayed in chronological order (newest to oldest). Once a voting expires (`close="2018-10-18"` field), it is automatically closed, no new votes are possible and the results are displayed.

Note that our DokuWiki instance automatically syncs changes to GitHub (https://github.com/opennic/wikipages/commit/b66d3f5758fc4181a15786c9346ed72775f4f3c3) and GitLab (https://gitlab.com/opennic/wikipages/commit/b66d3f5758fc4181a15786c9346ed72775f4f3c3) so anyone interested can go there to verify the end results of votings by comparing these to the results displayed on the wiki.


What do you all think about using the DokuWiki system for voting going forward from now on?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Fusl
