Installation and other docs
Henrik Ingo
I've been on this mailing list for a year or two now. I don't
understand any Spanish but I don't mind :-) Unfortunately I haven't
been able to actively contribute much due to my current work, but that
will not last forever while democracy hopefully will...
I wanted to take another look at Agora this week, but it seems to have
evolved into a direction that I can no longer find where to start. If
I go to agoravoting.org I get pointed to github.com/agoravoting and
this mailing list. However at the github page I simply find many
projects that probably are related, but no documentation on how and
where to start installing them.
My questions:
- Is it possible to get an English language update of what's
happening with Agora nowadays?
- If I want to install it, where should I go?
Since that is often the case, I'm gonna assume the documentation
actually is not up to date and also the installation process might be
tedious. I'm willling to help make both of those better since that is
often an important first step in growing a more vibrant community.

It's not documented... But it looks harder than it's really. Take a look to the agora-dev-box repo. This repo installs almost all required parts to get an agora-voting running.
We've:
* authapi, authentication part
* agora-core-view, the web interface to vote, client code
* agora_elections, stores the ballots and generate the input for the tally
* elections orchestra, this is the authority software that makes the tally. An agora installation requires at least two different machines with agora election and verificatum.
Currently agora-dev-box deploys an authority, but you can install other parts by editing the playbook.yml and uncomment.
Then we've other resources not integrated yet in the dev-box like agora-results.
We're currently in active development of agora v3, so all this code is changing really fast. We want to have a beta (stable api and components?) for the January 15th. So then we'll start to generate a dev and deployment documentation, but currently we're defining how all this will work together, so as you said there isn't a start point.
You should start by installing two authorities, in real serves or virtual machines and try to config them to work together running the eotest. Then you can start to install the agora_elections and agora core view, and then you can try to complete the voting flow with authapi.
It isn't easy so don't get hurry and ask here or in the irc channel (#agoravoting in freenode).
