We were calculating the age stats based on the age of the users who participated... at the moment where we were calculating the stats. That means that, if 20 years ago, 1000 people who were 16 years old participated, they would be shown as having 36 years in the stats. Instead, we want to show the stats at the time when the process took place, so we're implementing a `participation_date` method. Note that, for polls, we could actually use the `age` column in the `poll_voters` table. However, doing so would be harder, would only work for polls but not for budgets, and it wouldn't be statistically very relevant, since the stats are shown by age groups, and only a small percentage of people would change their age group (and only to the nearest one) between the time they participate and the time the process ends. We might use the `poll_voters` table in the future, though, since we have a similar issue with geozones and genders, and using the information in `poll_voters` would solve it as well (only for polls, though). Also note that we're using the `ends_at` dates because some people but be too young to vote when a process starts but old enough to vote when the process ends. Finally, note that we might need to change the way we calculate the participation date for a budget, since some budgets might not enabled every phase. Not sure how stats work in that scenario (even before these changes).
CONSUL DEMOCRACY
Citizen Participation and Open Government Application
This is the opensource code repository of the eParticipation website CONSUL DEMOCRACY, originally developed for the Madrid City government eParticipation website, and currently maintained by the open source software community in collaboration with the CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation.
Documentation
Check the ongoing documentation to learn more about how to start your own CONSUL DEMOCRACY fork, install it, customize it and learn to use it as an administrator/maintainer.
CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation and project website
You can access the main website of the project at http://consuldemocracy.org where you can find information about the use of the platform, the CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation, the global community of users and local partners, news, and ways to get more support or get in touch.
Configuration for development and test environments
NOTE: For more detailed instructions check the docs
Prerequisites: install git, Ruby 3.2.3, CMake, pkg-config, shared-mime-info, Node.js 18.18.2 and PostgreSQL (>=9.5).
git clone https://github.com/consuldemocracy/consuldemocracy.git
cd consuldemocracy
bin/setup
bin/rake db:dev_seed
Run the app locally:
bin/rails s
Run the tests with:
bin/rspec
You can use the default admin user from the seeds file:
user: admin@consul.dev pass: 12345678
But for some actions like voting, you will need a verified user, the seeds file also includes one:
user: verified@consul.dev pass: 12345678
Configuration for production environments
See installer
Current state
Development started on 2015 July 15th. Code was deployed to production on 2015 september 7th to decide.madrid.es. Since then new features are added often. You can take a look at the current features at the project's website and future features at the Roadmap and open issues list.
