(Adding list back, with permission) Thanks, Breyten! I’ve added “method” as a possible new property for VoteEvent in this issue: https://github.com/opennorth/popolo-spec/issues/57 I’m waiting for more feedback before adding the new properties to the spec. There’s been a good discussion on the Poplus list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/poplus/0wNKnWy810A Cheers, James > 2014-05-19 12:06 GMT+02:00 Breyten Ernsting <breyten@openstate.eu>: >> Hey, >> >> This is excellent work!
