Hello guys,

In out last Code Sprint meeting we went farther to design decitions that
one might find in our teams Doc.

One of the Major issues we have to deal with is Tracking-Chanching of a
Proposal under formation and the Voting methods (Yes-No, Polling etc)

The Initial idea is to have 2 Phases:
1 for the Voters and Modifiers to Form the Final Proposal to be Voted
2 the voting phase (with or without some sort of Consensus)


The Tracking-Changins engine will ease the process for the Phase 1 in
order to merdge the Voters Suggestions/Modification in a Automated
Procedure. Irrespectively or the Interface/View of the Page one should
me able to track the history of the Proposals changes' and the
suggestions a Voters have done on the subject. In addtion one should be
able to see how things where before the voting and what it is Suggested
(ie the future form of the Document) for achieving the Consensus.

I have done a quick review on the HTML5, and you can easely see that the
NEW HTML STRUCTURE that is suggested with this Prototype we have a
Natural desrciption of a Proposal in the terms of Sematics required to
keep tracking and at the same time a ready made View structure.
Therefore there is no Intermediate Structure required. In addition to
this we have the CSS3 (or CSS2) that can easely form the Style we might
what than can Vary depeding on the Medium one is using (Pad, PC, Phone
etc). Moreover, there are several other standard such as Canvas Object
and WebGL that can give us the tools to make an editor that can support
an Enhanced Proposal Choices: even a voting and modifying to a 3D
Design, Videos etc.

Finally, using HTML5 we can even great a Web App that will work directly
on Mobile devices since one of the reasons that this Prototype so reach
on Media support is exactly for that.

And a Seacret that it my consireacy theory that derives from my PhD
work. When one is creating a Web Crawler for scanning the Net and give
you the resault in a search Engine like Google/Bing is pahsing the
problem of Semantics amigution. HTML5 has a simple yet powerfull way to
give a optimistic solution to this (truly unsolved) problem, just by
augmenting the html structure.

Thats all folks.. Have a look at the HTML5 NEW structure and JaveScript
API extensions and let me know your opinion.

Cheers,

Mitsos
