milestone 1 (internal deployment)

[petar]

Milestone 1 includes a baseline set of application features, as well as operational preparedness of the software stack for live deployment to an internal group of users. The product spec for milestone 1 can be found here https://github.com/gov4git/gov4git/blob/main/doc/product-spec-m1.md

Technical roadmap

Technical tasks for this milestone:

Backend (command line client) features

• [x] https://github.com/gov4git/gov4git/pull/33
• [x] #51
• [x] #52
• [x] #59
• [x] support for cancelling ballots
• [x] https://github.com/gov4git/gov4git/pull/54
• [x] #56
• [x] #57
• [x] #58

Integration with desktop (the desktop app)

Operational readiness

• [ ] #50
• [x] #41
• [ ] desktop app logs the verbose cli output for troubleshooting purposes
• [ ] #42

Features

• [ ] #68
• [ ] #67

Integration with GitHub

• [x] cli command for importing GitHub issues and request
• [x] GitHub action template for importing from GitHub and sweeping the community votes
• [x] deployment instructions

Frontend Desktop App

• [ ] decide and freeze terms for "voting credits" vs "impact" (after the square root)
• [ ] UI user stories: https://github.com/gov4git/desktop-application/issues/55
• [ ] screen for tracking user's past votes (with details) and which have been processed?

Tests

Backend tests

Application correctness tests:

• [x] #45
• [x] #47
• [x] test open ballot, vote, tally, close ballot
• [x] test freeze/unfreeze ballot
• [x] test transfer credits from one account to another

Command-line client interface tests. These tests ensure that the command-line interface (which is used by the desktop app) behaves as expected. These tests also act as a specification of the cli interface.

• [x] https://github.com/gov4git/gov4git/pull/49
  • [x] test interface of balance command
  • [x] test interface of ballot command
  • [x] test interface of group command
  • [x] test interface of user command
  • [x] test interface of member command
  • [x] test interface of init-gov command
  • [x] test interface of init-id command

Integration with desktop tests:

• [ ] manually test all UI features and flows (installation, creating identity, etc)
• [ ] manually verify desktop app does not freeze while communicating with backend

Integration with GitHub tests:

• [x] test that each GitHub action invokes the cli correctly (Trigger GitHub Action locally. Use cli to check for expected result.)

Business roadmap

• [ ] project website on GitHub pages
• [ ] project blog on GitHub pages (to post articles on features, collaborations, etc)
