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.
