What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

In the default view we can zoom in to the country more. The country should be 
the only thing we see in the view (Black Sea in its entirety is too much, we 
dont need to see cyprus in the south etc) 

Do we only switch to district view when we pick a province in the province drop 
down. Can we not zoom in ourselves on the map to switch to distict view at a 
certain zoom level?

Ok so when we pick party in the dropdown, we can either show the provinces that 
party is winning (easy) or a heatmap of that party's status across the country. 
By that I mean we can have colors of different intensity mapping onto the vote 
count. This would be super cool but I am not sure how hard it is or if all the 
colors we picked would allow that kind of range. Let me know what you think. 

In the default data you are using the boxes counted appear to be a bigger 
number than total boxes. I know it is dummy data but I am just noting it here 
in case it is mix up between the UI and the XML feed 

Just an open question on how we plan to display overall election results in the 
UI. Note that the overall results will include Gumrukler which is in the feed 
but does not belong to any particular province. 

It may be good to display the country total and gumrukler separatly and then 
add them all up for the absolute total. 

Just FYI: Gumrukler corresponds to Turkish citizens who live abroad and were 
able to vote at one of the airports etc in the last few months. 

Let's not forget about this one: we need to attribute Cihan on the map. 

I get perpetual spinner on Chrome 13 on Linux when I try to view the districts. 
This didn't happen on election day so it is new I think.  There's no problem 
with the provinces.  Chrome build is 13.0.782.24 beta.

There's no problem on Chrome 12 on my Mac and no problem in FF 3.6 in Linux.

I am sure you will fix this but just entering here as a reminder. 

We can't use the jsonCallback with Fusion Tables in IE9:

We will have to proxy the data through app engine to fix this.

Türkiye Genellinde Sonuçlar: AKP %46 CHP 25%....

We have identifies these in the test - just adding here as a reminder. 

When zoomed into the district level you lose sense of the province boundaries.  
It'd be nice if the province boundaries were thicker or somehow distinguished 
at that zoom level.

The overall party percentages don't layout correctly in these older browsers.   
IE6 < 5% in Turkey, not sure about FF2 but probably lower than that.  Not 
critical.

KML updates for Izmir 
(email from Cihan)

So it appears that Cihan will give us BGMZ1...BGMZ8 in the XML so we need to 
the mapping to actual candidate names. The list of specific candidates that 
Cihan will follow (and their mappings to BGMZ1...BGMZ8) are given in a separate 
Excel sheet. We will need to reflect these names directly to the UI. I will 
also send an email to Chetan about this. 

In Firefox 4, if you pan the map, mouse hit testing does not follow the pan 
offset - it tracks the mouse as if the map were in its original unpanned 
location.

(Thanks RC for the bug report.)

As you see fit 

Can we make the province list in the dropdown alphabetic 

In the pop-ups I think it would be sufficient to see the percentages party 
names and party logos. Are we going to report actual vote counts? 

I think we should highlight the colors for the major parties below the map. Is 
this possible? This way even I just look at the map without scrolling over 
anything I can see the color to party mapping. 

Yenihalle is a small district in Ankara 2 that is surrounded by Ankara 1 
districts.  At the province zoom level, mousing over Yenihalle still displays 
Ankara 1.  

Note that at the district zoom level the mouseover subheading correctly shows 
Yenihalle as being in Ankara 2.

I load the page, see statistics and then they don't update after some time in 
Chrome.  This happened around 5:30 a.m. eastern during the test feed run on 
6/9.  Things were updating for a while in Chrome, but then they stopped.

I then got similar behavior in Safari and Firefox where updates never seemed to 
work.  Weird bit was that even a shift-refresh in Safari or Firefox didn't get 
new statistics.  LiveHTTPHeaders in firefox confirms that fusion tables was not 
hit again (and I knew that the statistic had been updated)

We actually promised our partner Cihan that we would link to their site when 
people click on the logo. Is it possible to add a line at the bottom of the 
gadget in small font saying: 

Election results provided by LOGO 

and have logo link to http://www.cihan.com.tr/mainAction

In Turkish this would be 

Seçim Verileri - LOGO 

Display a list view of results.

Add link on top right corner "View results table" that displays a list/table 
view of the results. Similar to this spreadsheet: 
https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?hl=en_US&key=t3jl76q0dylxfC
nwF-pim8Q&hl=en_US#gid=0

 If there was a extra query parameter or something I could use to see the IDs from the KML that you're using, it would help debugging.  I thought there was an error in statistic reporting at the district level, but there was not.  Regardless, it'd be nice to have for future elections.

I know this is the last thing you want to worry about but let's note it down 
here. I would love to play with prettier drop-down styles and framing for the 
gadget. 

How do we handle top 6 parties in the overall resuts when no votes are 
available?

Can we list the parties in alphabetical order in the dropdown? 

(first the parties in alphabetical order and then the independent candidates in 
alphabetical order would be great) 

Currently based on absolute vote counts. 
Naturally all parties looks darkest in Istanbul Ankara etc since these are more 
populated areas. 

We should report this based on percentages. 

When I click Show Districts and zoom in/out after that I lose district view 
automatically. This is not very user-friendly as most people will switch on 
district view and will want to zoom in to see the districts they are interested 
in.
