Propose new functionalities for Decidim software
#DecidimRoadmap Designing Decidim together
Unfortunately the debate functionality uses plural voting only. The plan is to develop a module which uses the nominees gathered with the debate module, and conduct condorcet voting on them. The sortitions module have some similar functionalities, so modifying it is a possible way to go.

Well it all looks quite sophisticated and complex. We should define and MVP and really think how to implement it at the level of architecture, and work the interface in parallel. The problem is that we don't have the resources to develop this feature and you don't have the knowledge! I am not sure what we can do ... Unless you have the economic resources to pay some of the developers that can do the job or you have the time to learn... On the side of the Decidim team this is a desirable feature but not a priority right now, unfortunately.
I am regarded as an experienced programmer. I have made my first kernel patch some 18 years ago, and fluently speak at least five programming languages. I am just new to rails and internals of Decidim.
I believe that onboarding help may be actually your interest, and improving on that field helps your velocity a lot in the long run.
If I could get to the point where I can clone the sortitions module in another name, run its test, and create one or two unit tests for it (as I see you do only high level integration tests), then I could handle most things for myself, and only had an occasional question from time to time.
When I mentioned CIVS, I was talking about its voting UI specifically. It is not that complex. The MVP would just provide a voting UI based on the proposals gathered in the proposals module, gather the votes, and when the vote is closed it would compute and show the result.
@magwas that's great. I just feel frustrated because I cannot help you technically. I am not a developer. The MVP you suggest seems great to me. Not sure how to handle both a more detailed definition of the module and the technical support you might need. I guess both @andres and the developer community at gitter might be able to help: https://gitter.im/decidim/decidim
Certainly being an experienced developer is of much more value than anything else. I am sure once being an experienced developer you can learn Rails and the Decidim internals pretty fast.
