What is VoteWrap?
The open source VoteWrap Method is released under the terms of GPL. It has been developed to improve the handling of contention in collaborative environments.
It introduces a variable consensus level calculated from how important and urgent issues are to each voter. And, it dynamically integrates all the following formal and informal elements of voting:
The above elements are then integrated into a Results Summary Display.
Almost always there will be Associated sub-issues within an issue and between issues.
And on the larger scale all the issues in a domain have a Relative priority to other issues.
The VoteWrap Method exists as a documented specification in the form of a Detailed Process Flow and as a set of fully functional Excel Prototypes.
VoteWrap has a synergy with the Semantic Web.
The next stage in the development of VoteWrap is to implement the method into Semantic MediaWiki.
In practice VoteWrap is most effective when applied to 'Object Oriented Documentation' An example of 'OO Doco' is the specification of the VoteWrap Method itself. And here are some examples of how VoteWrap and OO Doco can be integrated to give real world benefits.
VoteWrap utilises Data Visualisation principles to present its Results Summary Display in a rich graphical format that is easier to understand than character based displays.
