To me, it's not a question of "should we try", but more "do we want to?".
I can push the changes to the repo and it should just work (maybe with a
few more nudges), and would only show up if you add the
"?interactive=true" to the URL, so nothing will change WRT the old system.
If we don't, then it's probably another year before we can get a lot of
people to try it out at once and see what feedback we get.
What we could do is try it for the test ballots, get feedback and then
decide based on that. After all, it's an option for people, no one will
be forced to use the interactive page, they can pick between the old one
or the new one as they see fit.
I realize we're quite close to the election (which is what made me start
working on it in the first place ;)), but the math inside the new page
is sound and it's easy for people to double-check that the resulting STV
string matches their choice and order, so even with all my bias, I'd say
we should at least give people the option of trying it out for the test
ballots. If they don't like it, we can wait till next year for the real
election.
With regards,
Daniel.

Here is my question:
Should we try to impl the drag/drop feature for this
round of elections, or not? Ideally, if we do, we should
have it ready to use for the test ballot, which I was planning
on doing Wednesday, but that may be pushing it.
The key is that whatever we use for the test ballot
we must use, unaltered, for the real election.

Oh no! ;)
But really, thanks a ton :) I am itching to get started with the base perl
stuff and even more so with the rest api stuff chris has been working on.
