All Our Ideas 2.0. This codebase runs two sites photocracy.org and allourideas.org.
The allourideas.org project provides the user-facing website for doing pairwise voting. This project depends on the API provided by pairwise-api. There are several models that are ActiveResource models that connect to the pairwise API.
This was created by OKFN in collaboration with the World Bank, for the brazilian state Rio Grande do Sul.
The approach for the poll is different from upstream. Here, we have Consultations (i.e. "How to save the world?"). There are Choices to answer the it (i.e. "Cure cancer"), each of which is inside a Category (i.e. "Healthcare"). Every time a user votes in a consultation, the next prompt will be from a random category.
We've also added the possibility to modify a Choice's Category after it was created (but before it received any votes). But this depends on our fork of pairwise-api (https://github.com/okfn/pairwise-api). If you don't need it, you can use the official repository without problems.
The software was modified to work as a Facebook Canvas App as well. When a user access it through Facebook, we check if we have another user with her e-mail in our database. If so, we link the users together, and log her in as that. If not, we create a new user in our DB. This only works if the user authorized our app before.
If we're authorized, we'll also post a message in the user's timeline each time she add a new Choice to a Consultation.
