<Reedy> Hey TimStarling. Is there anything I really need to know about
SecurePoll for setting up a test on testwiki as per
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48330 ?
<Reedy> Last time around the xml file was provided and I just imported it
<TimStarling> usually I just get a previous year's XML file and change the
candidate names
<TimStarling> do you still have a previous XML file?
<Reedy> Yup, there is
http://bug-attachment.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=11425
<Reedy> Does it cope with multiple questions? Or are they all seperate polls?
<Reedy> Board, FDC, FDC obmbudsperson
<TimStarling> yes, you can have multiple questions
-*- TimStarling tries to remember which vote that feature was added for
<Reedy> Haha
<Reedy> I was just going to ask if you had an example for it
<TimStarling> maybe it hasn't been used before
<TimStarling> but obviously I have complete faith in my own code ;)
<TimStarling> it's possible that it was never even tested on my own test wiki
<TimStarling> I have a set of test files here, and none of them seem to have
multiple questions
<TimStarling> just as well you're testing it now, I guess
<TimStarling> anyway, the input format is simple enough
<TimStarling> you just have multiple <question> sections, and use the "text"
message associated with the question to introduce it on the ballot page
<TimStarling> with one question, the "intro" message on the election is
redundant with the "text" message on the question
<TimStarling> so we have generally made the latter blank
<TimStarling> although I did test it locally with the question text non-blank
<TimStarling> you need to use the same ballot type and the same tallying method
for each question
<TimStarling> don't know if that is a problem for this case
<Reedy> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_2013
<Reedy> The text suggests they all should be roughly the same
