Re: [Demexp-dev] Swedish party to use demexp?

Hello Ketty,

This is *very* interesting! I've only glimpse through your English
description but this is very close to the Democratic Experience idea.
There are some differences (e.g. the vote algorithm) but this is very
close to demexp.

We can help in adapting demexp to your needs if necessary (e.g. add a
new voting algorithm).

I've seen that you have improved the web interface (ability to change
votes directly from the position base browsing dialog). You can submit
a patch if you want.

Please note that we (more exactly Augustin) are working on an improved
web interface (better interface, integrated forums, etc.) and current
WDialog code is going to be deprecated. You can see a first
demonstrator there: http://demexp.ouvaton.org/

On the other side, if you have invested time and code into the current
WDialog interface, we might keep it a bit longer if necessary.

Feel free to submit patches or things you would like to have.

Yep, I work on 32bits arch but that should work on any architecture.

Ok, I understand. I need to think about it.

Could you send to the mailing list the patch of modification you have
made to make it work on 64 bits arch?

I also hope so.
