Subject: RE: Card Manager 0.2.4
If I may suggest, program the Card Manager to wait
until the user pull the card out. It's kind of an intuitive action,
isn't it?
Can't argue with
that. We'll make it
so.
If
the user inserts the card, why does it matter whether it's blank or
not? In other words, why tell them that the card is being
cleared? Just clear it.
This probably won't fly however. One
nice use for the Spyrus is to give one to the poll worker responsible for
collecting cards from voters -- that way they can check to see that the voter
actually cast their ballot and let them know if they didn't. If I hand
you a voter card and ask "what ballot is this?", all you have to do is slip it
into a Spyrus to find out. You loose that capability if we just
unilaterally clear any card we come across. Let us know what you
think.
