About
- Purpose: implements questions
- Notes:
- I originally had a "WhenExpires" field as a way of making a decision at a specific time, but I decided that this belongs in a separate table (something like "decision point"). Timetable functionality feels "tacked-on", and putting it in a separate table allows keeping that feature from becoming entangled with basic voting. We might want to be able to implement, say, more than one decision-point per question.
- Not sure if we'll actually need Pos/Neg_Text; it may be just a frill.
- 2011-05-02 Makes no sense to have Pos/Neg Text; that's an Answer thing. (See InstaGov/SMW/questions for obsolete notes.)
- 2012-12-28 Making the structure dependent on wiki pages increases platform-dependency and CPU overhead. Keep the table, make wiki page optional (it should default, at page creation time, to a calculated name which can be updated if the page is moved). We will probably need a log of edits to Answers. In fact, let's do a general log.
History
