Ranked Voting for Solutions #36

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The current voting method, while good, is not the preferred ballot for modern 
voting algorithms. A better method would be a ranked ballot, allowing the user 
to rank existing solutions into a list of preferences. This would allow the 
system to use theoretically sounds voting algorithms for the calculation of the 
best solution, and vastly increase the capability for users to express their 
preferences.

This would require some modification to the pirate_consensus module, as well as 
a new UI interface to allow for ranked voting. It would be best for this 
interface to be dynamic AJAX/Javascript as to improve the experience of the 
user.

The consensus_model can be updated with a rank model field, allowing it to 
reference the rank of the solution. The Consensus model should remain unaware 
of the other Consensus models at the same depth in the tree, the validity of 
the ranking must be enforced at the interface level.
