Description & Goals

Summary

A poll is a research tool that helps explain what a group of people think about a topic. Poll Builder allows you to create your own poll, collect votes, examine the results and think about what they mean. Users can write original opinion poll questions and answer choices, then invite friends to vote in their poll via the mesh.

This is a WorldWideWorkshop project - see the WorldWideWorkshop wiki page.

Beta 1.4 Features:

  • Polls are stored in the Data Store and accessible via the Journal
  • Can share a poll with a buddy (shares application and current data) who can vote on it from their XO
  • Polls can be multiple times (e.g. X can share it with Y who can share it with Z).
  • Uses Telepathy for interacting with other XOs
  • Updates all XOs that are sharing the activity with current data (while Poll is being shared)
  • When receiving data, author's activity eliminates duplicates and updates votes with the latest vote from a given XO
  • Ability to create multiple polls, each with a title, question, 2-5 answer choices and a "votes to collect" limit
  • Display running total with number of votes (numeric tally) and percentage of total votes cast (bar graph) for each answer
  • Ability to “Delete” the Poll
  • Ability to “See Results’ after the Poll closes
  • Set of customized Lesson Plans accessible in-app via "Lesson Plans" button
  • More mesh status messages (alerting users to load progress and friend actions) will be added
  • Multiple translations will be available (English, Portuguese and Spanish to start)

Beta 1.3 update

Poll Builder was updated to handle changes in Sugar between Trial 2 and Trial 3. It is running well in Build 613.

Beta 1.2: We recommend testing Poll Builder mesh functionality in a mesh environment backed by the Jabber server. In the current peer-to-peer mesh, vote tallying only works for a new poll – it will not work for the existing "Favorite Color" sample poll.

As of build 542, XOs do not automatically connect to the Collabora server as with previous builds, so the following process must be done to connect to the server:

  • Go to the dev console terminal
  • vi ~/.sugar/default/config
  • Change "server = " to "server = olpc.collabora.co.uk" (leave "registered = False")
  • shutdown and switch on again to reboot
