Jump to: navigation, search

The resource accounting framework (the RAC) enables resources to be contributed to an issue, or pledged to an issue.1 A resource is something of value in the issue such as agreement, money, labour or materials. This page is a stub. We hope eventually to finish it.

Notes

  1. ^ a b The original design sketch is by Michael Allan. Parts of the design follow from a Skype conversation between Christian Weilbach and Michael Allan in the summer of 2011. These include the tying of pledge flow to vote flow, and the rough outlines of in-branch superaccounting.
  2. ^ Dating from the first design sketch to describe superaccounts: http://reluk.ca/mediawiki/index.php?title=Category:Account&oldid=4148
  3. ^ Formalized as page properties within the pollwiki.

  6. ^ The RAC is implemented in parts of Votorola's user interface,4 but usually it is disabled.5 And currently the only resource that is actually counted on the vote-server is that of agreement, formalized as votes. Therefore the RAC is not yet alpha.
