Shame to see it go, but also thrilled to think about what 2015 might bring. Long live yournextmp!
Alex: Sounds interesting, hope to see it up soon. I ran yournextpcc.com(see the pattern?) for the police commissioners elections, so I also have a bit of an interest in this area. I'm one of the people who has been talking to various people about the 2015 GE. It'd be great to talk to you at some point, and anyone else interested in election tech. We're far enough out that we have time to find out what everyone's intending to do and coordinate, but close enough that we have to get a move on! Also: Even though I don't really have time for it right now, today I've also been playing with the idea of a minimal code candidates website for the 2014 European Parliament election, using Jekyll to statically generate pages off roughly-Popolo-compliant yaml files: https://github.com/tfgg/yournextmep (see the pattern?! I need a better scheme). If anyone's interested in helping, get in contact, or start sending pull requests :) Tim On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 1:49 PM, Alex Bilbie <[email protected]> wrote: > I've actually been working on http://elections.io/ over the past few > weeks.
