English Version	Ukrainian Version	Notes
Policies Policies are a group of votes which, taken together, indicate a particular stance on an issue. You can research and create your own.	Політики Політики - це перелік  голосувань за законопроект/пакет пов’язаних законопроектів, які у сукупності виступають за впровадження у дію конкретної позиції з певного питання. Ти можеш запропонувати свою власну політику.

TODOs

• Translate "A list of policies available on Вони голосують для тебе" in the page description.
• What part of "See also draft policies." Should be linked?
• How does 'division' get pluralised? The Ukrainian version of "1 division" or "2 divisions". Is this an issue? of does "1 голосувань" and "5 голосувань" both make sense?
• translation for "X unedited":
  
• translation of time_ago_in_words output for "edited about 2 months ago". – looks like i18n can help with this does this, see example in Stackoverflow discussion

No small images available

theyvoteforyou.org.au uses images hotlinked from openaustralia.org.au. We have two sizes available, they're roughly:

• 44 x 58
• 88 x 115

For Ukraine we're currently hotlinking the Rada's image. These are all 150 x 200.

Switch to localised views & use GetText for other string translations

So that we can still run the PHP regression tests and to make a future merge with upstream less painful, I've decided to switch to using localised views.

Where appropriate, to translate strings, we should use GetText as it means smaller changes to the code (i.e. the English string basically stays in place). We'll use this where it makes sense, e.g. view helpers where the string has a pretty clear equivalent in Ukrainian.

Extract server provisioning into its own repository

I've had more of a think about the Ansible server provisioning code. I think we should move it into its own repository so that its not so tied up in upstream. There are two important benefits to doing this:

• OPORA can make changes to their server completely independent to the codebase. So if they decide to deploy another application to the server or move the server, none of that ever need be merged into upstream
• And it also makes it much easier for the changes we've made so far to be merged into upstream and for that to continue to happen as much as possible

Some other OAF projects have the server provisioning code in their repositories (morph.io and Cuttlefish). However these typically run as hosted projects and have not been seriously deployed elsewhere, as this project is about to be.

Remove the concept of free votes

#33 mentions that free votes don't exist in the Rada and then adds a question in the notes:

English Version	Ukrainian Version	Notes
Free votes	n/a . not exist in Ukraine	does this concept exist in Ukraine?

We need to clarifty whether or not free votes do exist and if not, remove them.

Organise a server

Now that we are starting to see data in the site it would be really useful to have the server available so we can all see the progress.

Add more supporting orgs

On the They Vote For You front page we have a long list of supporting orgs from all around. This demonstrates that this is a broad international movement for parliamentary openness and adds credibility to the project.

Currently, in the google doc, this project has:

• NDI
• USAID
• Open North
• OpenAustralia Foundation

I'm sure many of the groups that supported They Vote For You would want to support this project as well. If this is something OPORA would like to do, you can find links to all those groups with their logos in the list on https://theyvoteforyou.org.au @mmitre @lisoffsky @jnlandry

Dates a deputy entered/left the Rada are missing

https://github.com/OPORA/publicwhip/blob/ukraine/lib/data_loader/popolo.rb#L39-L40

Use vote_event result from Popolo data

Currently TVFY calculates if a vote has passed or not. In Ukraine the number of votes required to pass something depends on the type of vote, e.g. procedural votes require less of a majority (I think??).

The scraper collects the result from the Rada so we should use that instead of calculating it ourselves.

Cannot load EveryPolitician data

It appears they've changed the way they generate IDs (already!) for people so we can't properly import them any more.

Names show patronymic, not first name

MP names are being displayed as Patronymic LastName, rather than FirstName LastName. This is true in MP pages like this and in the dropdown on the home page.

When are votes uploaded to the Rada website?

In Australia the Hansard is usually posted on the official website by the next morning. OpenAustralia.org.au scrapes it around 09:00 and then we import that into TVFY around 10:00.

What's it like with the Rada?

I'm interested as this will impact when and how we schedule the jobs to do the import.

Don't show house filter on people page

It would be nice to do this in some way that it's not shown if the parliament is unicameral.

Searching for MP who's changed faction shows two different entries

In the main page, search for гопко to find Hanna Hopko, who recently was removed from her faction.

The result page shows two different entries, one for her as a member of the Samopomich faction, one as her as a non-faction MP.

Should only the active entry (e.g. non-faction) be shown here?

Add process overview to the readme

The readme currently has a high-level overview of how the application works for Australia. We need to add one for Ukraine.

Set up domain/DNS

Once we've decided on a name we need to decide on a domain. If it's not a subdomain we need to buy it. And we need to set up DNS.

What will be the site’s name in Ukrainian?

Needed for #13 and #14.

Ping @mmitre @lisoffsky.

Should we copy the Rada's photos somewhere?

Currently we're hotlinking to the Rada's images of people. Is this what we want to do or do we want to get a copy ourselves?

theyvoteforyou.org.au uses images hotlinked from openaustralia.org.au (which are downloaded from the parliament's website).

[translation] individual division/vote page

The individual vote page, e.g. https://tvfy-ukraine.oaf.org.au/divisions/rada/2015-10-08/4101 will need to be translated. Ping @mmitre @lisoffsky 😄

Check vote page for errors and things that need doing

Now that we're starting to see this first bit of voting data in the app we need someone to review it and log any bugs or changes that need doing.

The following vote is this one: http://w1.c1.rada.gov.ua/pls/radan_gs09/ns_golos?g_id=3106

Handle faction changes during a day

Sometimes when someone changes faction the day overlaps on the Rada website. This indicates that at some stage in the day the person changed faction.

For instance, this person changes from Група "Відродження" to Група "Партія "Відродження" on 2015-06-17. If you look at a vote at the start of the day they're with the first faction and by the end of the day they're with the latter faction.

In Popolo (and TVFY) we don't currently handle this and AFAICT there's currently no way to express this in Popolo. Ping @jpmckinney?

Set up server

As part of #1 I think OPORA is going to make a VPS available. Once that's ready we need to write some Ansible stuff to set it up.

We'll be using this as a base: https://github.com/openaustralia/infrastructure/tree/master/roles/theyvoteforyou

Translate '1000 shares' to Ukrainian

When there are no shares, the text just reads 'Share'. This text is in the social_share template and can be translated there. The text 'x shares' comes from a javascript file shareCount.js.

Maybe we could specify the noun version 'shares' in a data attribute on the .social-share-heading element, and then do the translation there using our normal template system?

We need Ukrainian translations for:

• "Share" as a verb
• and "X shares" as a noun. This is "X поширень" , according to #33

Don't use person ID for member ID

We're currently just using the person ID for the member ID:

https://github.com/OPORA/publicwhip/blob/ukraine/lib/data_loader/popolo.rb#L28-L29

Obviously this is wrong. It's also tied up with: openaustralia/ukraine_verkhovna_rada_deputies#11

Change division date format

Extracted from #33

16th Feb 2006, 12:54 PM ---> 16.02.2006, 12:54 (if PM)/00:54 (if AM)

Add equivalent text for "Please note that our voting records start in 2006."

On They Vote For You, at the bottom of an MPs voting record we say "Please note that our voting records start in 2006." This is because some MPs have been in Parliament longer than we have data for, so they might have voted differently before that and it wouldn't be reflected in the voting record we present.

Do we need to say anything like this for the Ukrainian version of the site @mmitre @lisoffsky @jnlandry ? Something like 'Please note that our records only start in 2015'? What would be helpful to people reading this?

Add OPORA administrators to the server

At the moment it's just @henare and @equivalentideas https://github.com/OPORA/publicwhip_server/blob/master/roles/base-server/meta/main.yml#L4

Server mail should also be sent to the right server admins. At the moment it's going to OAF.

Don't display house name next to every vote

In the list of votes there's no point in having the house listed since Ukraine is a unicameral parliament:

It should just be removed, no replacement text is needed.

Don't use hardcoded house when importing Popolo data

https://github.com/OPORA/publicwhip/blob/develop/lib/data_loader/popolo.rb#L42-L43

This applies to votes too: https://github.com/OPORA/publicwhip/blob/develop/lib/data_loader/popolo.rb#L56

Remove search by postcode

Not using postal code, correct? Don’t think we have the mapping, and it would be an issue for list MPs
