The architecture of Votorola is an extended version of the Outcast voting network, from
which the following overview is derived. What Votorola adds to the architecture are
mainly its unique supports for drafting and discussion, including facilities for
difference bridging, free-range drafting and crossforum ranging.

Notes

CS↑↑

Pollwiki and streetwiki symbols are based on Michael Moorcock's chaos symbol.

SP↑

The streetwiki prototype is minimal. It consists of a very simple UI for voter registration, and trust
extension.

XFR↑

The original proposal for crossforum ranging led to the design of Crossforum theatre, and
eventually to refinements of the practice. See these discussion threads for the
most recent proposals:

2011–05 — Minimal start plan — inter-community network
2011–06 — Cascading agreement, money, communities and other resources in votespace
