How to use eVote.
|
eVote basics.
eVote has many powerful commands that you can use. To get started, however, you need to learn the basics.- All messages that pertain to voting/polling *must* start with the
word, "eVote". If you forget this, your message will be sent to the
entire list and it will not be processed by eVote. So please be careful.
- To learn how to set up a poll, or simply to understand eVote better,
send email to list@tlug.pht.co.jp where 'list' is the name of the mailing
list you're subscribed to. The subject line doesn't matter. The message should say:
eVote help poll Here is the output from tlug-advocacy.
- To receive a list of all the subjects for the list
with polls attached, your message to list@tlug.pht.co.jp
should say:
eVote list
You can use "eVote list open" to see which subjects have polls that are open for voting. "eVote list closed" will list the closed polls.
- This is important! More information is available on a poll by poll basis. To get information about the vote attached to a subject such as, "Favorite OS", send email to list@tlug.pht.co.jp with "Favorite OS" as the subject. Your message can say:
| The e-mail-message: | What it does. |
| eVote info | To learn how to participate in the poll, to see your vote on this poll, and to see the current tally, if it is available. |
| eVote stats | To see your vote on this poll and the current tally, if it is available. |
| eVote who help | To learn how to query eVote with who-voted questions: "Who voted yes?", "Who voted 10?", ... whatever makes sense for the particular poll. This feature is not available for all polls. |
| eVote how help | To learn how to query eVote for how a particular subscriber voted, if this information is available. |
