Rick - since time is a big issue for you, just fork out the $20 for<br>SurveyMonkey already (up to 1000 responses),<br>that's what I did when I did the member survey in 2005.<br>SurveyMonkey gives you tons more functionality:<br> http://www.surveymonkey.com/Home_PricingDetail.aspx<br>Then download the results and cancel your subscription after the event.<br><br>SSL costs an extra $9.95/mo with them:<br> http://help.surveymonkey.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/336/session/L3NpZC9KM0RSeGJXag%3D%3D<br><br>I know nothing about Helios Voting.<br><br>Stephen<br><br><br>> Date: Sat, 6 Mar 2010 09:22:09 -0800<br>> From: kenobi@gmail.com<br>> To: baypiggies@python.org<br>> Subject: [Baypiggies] Helios Voting and other strategies<br>> <br>> Has anyone here used Helios Voting (http://www.heliosvoting.org)? It<br>> appears to be written to run on top of Django. It claims to be "the<br>> first web-based, open-audit voting system," which sounds like sheer<br>> goodness to me. Naturally the author reports very satisfied users,<br>> and there is a USENIX security paper to go with it. I'm trying to get<br>> a fuller picture.<br>> <br>> I need to host a voting application in about a month with about 1000<br>> voters, and candidates for three offices. SurveyMonkey is limited to<br>> 100 votes for free. (Perhaps we should just go pay the extra.) I saw<br>> some commercial site that would charge us about 64 cents per<br>> registered voter.<br>> <br>> We haven't put up the money for an SSL certificate yet, and thus don't<br>> run HTTPS yet. We're on a shared Linux server that hosts our domain;<br>> I don't have root access. We've talked about migrating to a VM; I had<br>> designs of putting Django on it, but have run out of personal free<br>> time and resources to pull this off.<br>> <br>> I'm open to suggestions, comments about Helios, etc.<br>> <br>> --Rick Kwan<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Baypiggies mailing list<br>> Baypiggies@python.org<br>> To change your subscription options or unsubscribe:<br>> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/baypiggies<br> <br /><hr />Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
