The Open Municipio platform needs a voting system, a la Facebook "I like this".
After some search on Google, there seem to be three main alternatives:
- django-voting: the app seems to be solid, spread and a de-facto standard. The author, Jonathan Buchanan, has written also django-tagging and his projects are reported to be well documented. However, it's an old app dating back to 2007 and it doesn't look maintained at all. It makes use of generic views, which are now deprecated.
- django-phileo: the app is active and young. It's part of Pinax project. I still have to understand how solid it is.
- django-likes: it looks a bit more tricky than the others, it depends on django-secretballot. It didn't impress me much.
All that said, I think that django-phileo is our best bet, while django-voting may be left as a second option.
