Hello Félix, 2007/1/11, Felix HENRY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I just re-read this approach. Althought I do not understand everything I believe that this consists in assigning a delegate individually on each question one wants to delegate, and the "score" of the delegate will be incremented by 1 while the score of the delegator becomes 0. Am I right?
Yes.
If Yes I don't understand what happens when someone who has delegated his vote recieves a delegation on the same question.
I did not thought at this issue. :-) But the answer is quite simple : we *know* that the participant who receives a delegation has delegated his vote and to whom, so we simply follow the delegation chain and add the vote to the correct delegate. However, should we store the original delegated participant, or the final delegate after applying closure on the delegation graph of this question? I don't know. It is probably much easier and simpler to store the final delegate. And thus the delegator would know that his chosen delegate has himself delegated to another person. But, on the other side, it would be much more exact to store the exact choice of the delegator, in case the chosen delegate changes his mind. And this raises the question of which information to return when the server is asked about the delegate: information about the wanted delegated? or the effective delegate? I need to think about this issue. Good spot Félix! :-) Best wishes, d. _______________________________________________ Demexp-dev mailing list Demexp-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/demexp-dev
