Hi LibTech, The EveryVote Facebook app is designed to improve campus engagement and voter turnout in university student government elections. The app can help students learn about and publicly interact with all of their candidates on one easy-to-browse webpage.
EV English screenshots <http://imgur.com/a/5KTXe#0> EV Hungarian screenshots <http://imgur.com/a/AHOPG#0> EV Greek screenshots (soon) The code is open source (AGPL) and could be easily modified and deployed for student government elections anywhere in the world (if that country uses Facebook). There is currently a functioning prototype of the app<https://apps.facebook.com/everyvote>, but there are still bugs, so our plan is to complete the app this Spring and Summer in time for the US Fall 2013 university elections. Would any LibTech members like to help translate the app into other languages than English? There are only 98 English words (mostly duplicates) that need translating, and you can get started right away by visiting https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/university-election-info-app/. Also, if you clicked the screenshots you know we are inserting historical figure profiles for demonstration purposes. It'd be really cool to make historical figure (highly influential non-living persons from anywhere in the world) profiles in languages other than English. If that sounds fun to you, please fill out the Historical Figure Template<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OjnmYavu425zqtVX46dw3oZNVrP4hTE5iFUzWpKGZyI/pub>and email it to [email protected]. If you have any questions or feedback, we would really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!
