Report Card

Publish an online poll, except with letter grades instead of poll options.

Note in regards to terminology: "Cards" are used to describe what would otherwise be an online poll question. "Votes" are what happens when a reader chooses a letter grade on a card. Card data is stored in a Google spreadsheet, vote data is (probably) stored in a database.

Developer-specific

Getting Started

You'll need a server with Python and a (probably) database to record votes.

You'll also want to create a Google spreadsheet to allow people to create new report cards. NOTE: This could be done strictly on the database side instead.

This repo addresses the front-end requirements of building a Report Card publishing system, and certain back-end requirements.

Requirements

The back-end parts you'll need to build on your own:

• A form handler to process report card votes.

The back-end parts you'll need to supply:

• A database
• A server to store the report card item javascript (optional)

If you're going to use Google Spreadsheets to store the report card information, these are the fields I'm using:

'Title', 'Description', 'slug', 'Date expires', 'Date launches'

Title and slug are the only required fields.

report-card's Issues

Allow report cards to end, and publish the results as default once it's ended.

I tried to create a Rapids 2015 report card but something went wrong

I followed the "how to" guide and I think it should be here: http://extras.denverpost.com/app/report-card/group/rapids-2015.html

But it's not. @freejoe76

Make it easier to deploy report cards in articles.

deploy.bash isn't working when it's run on the crontab
