Description

This extension allows users to be nominated for addition to or removal from a group and for other users to vote on the result. It also supports a miscellaneous decision type. Each decision has two editable pages associated with it - one for pre- and one for post-result discussion. Nominees may accept or decline their nomination for addition decisions. Top-of-page alerts inform of nomination or decision result until acknowledged. A summary page lists decisions and allows the list to be tailored by criteria. A tally page for each decision shows who has or has not voted along with each voter's rationale. A proposal page allows those with the 'vote' right to propose new decisions. A preferences page allows a voter to mark him/herself inactive and to change the colours shown in the summaries.

The tallying algorithm assumes minimal voter participation in two ways:

• it applies a liberal definition of "majority" if a decision times out
• it finalises decisions that time out with supporting votes and no dissenting votes, first passing them through a pending stage.
