96683ddde9 Clearer instructions for how to handle the voting.
This was primarily based on feedback from Richard Fontana, who said the
previous instructions were unclear.

I also figured it's better to refer to third party documents on what STV is,
rather than the vague description that was here previously.

13de6b65da The election_results table should be in the schema.
I was unsure what field type to make the results, but reading this:
  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/blob.html
convinced me that I should probably make it "text" type.

611142c18f Remove duplicate election_tmp_tokens CREATE:
I added this earlier not realizing it was elsewhere in the file.  However, my
comment is probably useful so I've left it.

f5872caf9d Choice lookup needs to happen here by the info we have,
which is anon_token_id.
This adds the functions and code necessary to do that.
This is probably a bit of a hack.

4e29b1d107 Correct variable name;
I suspect that a previous bad cut and paste caused this.

a4a320a6b6 election_tmp_tokens table should be created by schema.sql
This table, which is essential to the election, was not listed in the
schema.sql.  This adds a CREATE TABLE command for it.

dce402d2ad Create election_voters table & adapt code to use it instead of foundationmembers.
foundationmembers was a table specific to the GNOME Foundation.  This new
table, election_voters, allows creation of an electorate based on a list.

README is updated to explain how to use this table.

cf3f3e5180 preference field belongs in election_votes table.
It's clear from the PHP code that there should be an integer field called
'preference' in the election_votes table.  I suspect that at some point there
was an ALTER TABLE done that wasn't reflected in the schema.sql file.

f3fab42403 Make variables for name of committee running election and its email address.
GNOME's Election committee was previously hard-code here, but the code is
more reusable if it is no longer hard-coded.  The variables still default to
GNOME's details, but can be overridden with the configuration file.

6008db6237 Properly format schema.sql for MySQL & drop tables first.
With this change, schema.sql can be run directly from the mysql command line,
with a command such as:
$ mysql -u root -p -D dbname < .../vote/include/schema.sql

8dde472f6c foundation.gnome.org not needed in this case, as only using this for voting. 2013-12-17 13:14:33 -05:00
