http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/steve/trunk/pysteve/GETTING_STARTED.txt

It's a very minimal install guide. I'll see if I have spare cycles to
elaborate a bit on how to install, but in my experience, it's just a
matter of pulling the pysteve contents into a CGI-enabled httpd instance
and having a standard elasticsearch (if you choose to use that) DB
running on the same machine.

In the case of ASF's vote-wip instance, it uses LDAP auth which then
goes to steve.cfg and checks which rights you have on the machine. I
have set up you as an admin of the vote-wip instance, so you should be
able to see/do everything there.

As for monitoring:

When you create an election, you specify who is designated as monitor of
the election. Right before you invite everyone to an election, you click
'Cue monitors' in the admin interface, and they will receive a link to
the monitoring site along with some checksum values. This link stuff
needs some improvements (some uniqueness added to it), but the basics
work as intended.

With regards,
Daniel.
