RE: [election-services] Just how simple can you make EML 440 castballot?

John,

We have a user guide done internally here.  I could excerpt from that and use EML 440 as example for the screen shots...

Could be few page addendum to the V6 doc - Quick start to creating localizations.

Not for idiots though!

 

Thanks, DW

Suggest we produce a simple idiot’s guide on how to use the CAM template which can be part of the v6 documentation?

Team,
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
People say that EML is too complex.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In doing review of V6 so far - I produced the attached.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
By taking the original CAM template for the V6 440 - and then excluding away all optional non-essentials - I then generated a subset schema - of only the remaining parts.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Then I output a quick example instance.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
That subset schema is of course only a temporary working subset of the original EML 440 - and the sample instance should validate in the full EML 440 V6 schema itself.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I believe this shows that combining V6 with the CAM ability to quickly create localizations (this took about 30 minutes to do) - you can create powerful and simple implementations using EML.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Will be working on the next complete iteration of V6 draft schemas and release package for review next week.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Thanks, DW
