Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Ballots via Google Forms

[Wayne Beaton <wayne.beaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I put the form in the Specification Committee's Google Drive. Everybody with access to that drive should have access to the file.

https://docs.google.com/a/eclipse-foundation.org/forms/d/1kg0q4fwPS-XelYCjdK5TboOCVk85zlfrT8uXDy2jilU/edit?usp=sharing

It certainly feels like it works. However, as I stated in the start of this thread, I have no way of knowing with certainty that any particular entry was actually created by the person with the email address indicated. You notice, for example, that there are two responses from wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx. This email address was associated with neither of the accounts that I used to vote. 

AFAICT, Google Forms does not provide me with a means of accessing the account information of the responder. That information must be in there somewhere, but it's not exposed. FWIW, I did try exporting to a spreadsheet; that didn't help.

Feel free to tinker with the form.

In the meantime, I'm going to start the next round of reviews via the established channel.

It works. Is there a way to see the breakdown of the responses?

Ed has inspired me to try a different approach for ballots.

I've cobbled together a Google Form to capture votes for the Jakarta EE Platform restructuring. I've marked it as "unofficial", so consider your interaction with the form as nonbinding. I've configured so that it requires that you sign-in and specify your email address. I've configured it to allow you to revisit and change your answer.

AFAICT, there's no built-in way to restrict who gets to vote. I also can't sort out an easy way to prevent somebody from answering for somebody else (there're some tricks, but they're cumbersome). In short, we can use it to run a ballot, but I'm not sure that we can use the results.

Anyway... please have a look. Let me know what you think.
