Add Ticket Voting support to Haiku's Trac

[umccullough]

I think it would be extremely valuable to add some kind of "Ticket Voting" feature to our Trac installation.

This would allow users/testers to vote up bugs/enhancements that they feel are pertinent to them (for example, hardware/driver issues that affect their ability to run Haiku, etc.)

This would allow us to better prioritize resolution of issues. In the case of enhancements, such as drivers for unsupported hardware, or new features, the votes could be used as a measurement for creation of bounties, developer contracts, and/or hardware purchases to incent developers to work on the issues.

Note: There appears to be a "trac-hack" plugin which is *NOT* sufficient IMO: ​http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/VotePlugin

It is URL-based, and not specific to tickets. I don't think this is the solution we should seek.

Actually, it does look like a report can be written to find "most voted tickets", example on edgewall's Trac: ​http://trac.edgewall.org/report/34

Perhaps it could be workable after all.

hizzah !

I am willing to loan some hardware and pay shipping for any Dev interested in tackling any bug I or anyone else may have posted with the same hardware.
