=Description & Goals=

===Summary===

The Poll activity is a simple poll tool that allows children to express their opinions on a given topic by selecting one of five answer choices and submitting a vote. The results are tallied by total number of votes and percentage of total votes cast for each choice - like the usual web polls.

===Goals===

The Poll activity is based on [http://www.mamamedia.com/activities/poll/home.html MaMaMedia.com's Kids Say Poll]. However, instead of a web application it is to run on the XO assuming no Internet access, and take advantage of the mesh sharing features.

Children should be able to:
* View a poll created previously
* Create a new poll with a title, a question and five answer choices
* Vote in the poll
:* The intention is that when the activity is shared over the mesh, each child's vote is counted only once, tracking some '''anonymous''' unique identifier for each XO against that vote.
:* However as a prototype, before sharing is implemented, the activity will allow voting multiple times in the same poll, to demonstrate the concept.
* View the running total showing the total number of votes cast as well as a bar graph showing votes for each choice.
* Function to close the poll to new votes
* Function to reset the poll data back to zero votes (for testing purposes)
* Storage in the Data Store to be accessible via the Journal.
:* For sharing purposes, each vote should be stored, anonymously yet such that an XO cannot cast two votes.
:* The vote database gets shared across the mesh, and votes on other XOs are merged back onto the XO that created the poll.

===Collaboration===

* Kids can access and vote in one another's locally saved polls from their own XOs.
* Polls can be shared over the mesh multiple times (e.g. X can share it with Y who can share it with Z.)
* Data from remote votes will be merged back to one location (poll author's XO or the School Server) for tracking totals accurately.
* This requires including the author's XO ID in the shared data. Other XOs will update back to this machine where possible.
