Halalan Summer Camp 2007 Report

No Comments

Halalan Summer Camp 2007 is now over. Here are the results of the discussions held there.

New UI

The Summer Camp started with a drawing activity. Each member of the team was given a sheet of paper wherein they designed a new UI taking into consideration the voter’s ability to use a computer. The new UI will be posted soon.

New Teams

The development team of Halalan was divided into three groups which will be responsible for the UI, Code Igniter version, and Ruby on Rails version.

Improved Design

A presentation of the current Halalan Design started the discussion for its improvement. Some of the more notable ideas are:

  • audit trails
  • option to enable or disable the connection of voters and votes (some elections record who voted for whom, some do not)
  • password hashing on the client-side (this was implemented in the old Halalan)
  • voters can have multiple units

New and Improved Documentation

The documentation of the old Halalan will be resurrected and updated to reflect the new Halalan.
