#4298 for next year's flock session voting: limit numbers displayed to human range
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by mattdm.

Presenting a 129 different values for voting makes things harder for users than necessary, and kind of confusing.

It would be nice to have an option where when there are more than some number (7? 10?) of possibilities, the numbers displayed are limited to a more human scale, either by having a divisor or with some other mapping (preselected values mapped to "don't want", "don't care", "would see", "must have", for example).


Elections now offers two different approach to this question:

  • simplified range voting: https://github.com/fedora-infra/elections/pull/28
    where basically the user can choose a score going from 0 to X for each candidate and X is set by the admins when they create the election

  • select voting: https://github.com/fedora-infra/elections/pull/29
    where the user has a binary choice for each candidate, (I want, I don't want) which is displayed as a checkbox for each candidate and the selection can be limited to X (set by the admins) (ie: you can only vote on 5 of the 10 candidates)

This will be part of the next release
