Advisory Board (Anant's idea)
I think setting up an advisory board makes sense. One quick way to make the advisory board will be to include people from our partner organizations into it: Anant, Barun, Teesta, Sunil, and then include other people, like Dina Mehta. If this approach looks fine to you, we can activate it today itself.
Ringtone (Patrick's idea)
I wonder if we could popularize VoteReport by offering a free *catchy* ringtone? We could write something like, "Send in one report to VoteReport India and we'll email you the link to download VoteReport's awesome ringtone which you can forward to your friends! Show your committment transparency and accountability, show the world why India is the largest democracy." If we could have someone hip, cool, famous from India endorse the ringtone, that would be awesome. But perhaps we can just start by "crowdsourcing" a few potential ringtones and running with one, which we can later get endorsement on? I've studied the use of ringtones in political campaigns and they can be hugely powerful and help make a message go viral.
Satchit's Comment: if the ringtone idea catches on, someone had volunteered a theme song for mumbaivoices. we can ask him if vote report catches his fancy.
Aggregate Reports (Selvam's Idea)
What if we display aggregate reports on how different areas/constituencies are faring (based on the incidents)?
Videos (Harshil's Idea)
If i can, and i will try my best to, i will make a couple of short videos that can be put up on YouTube. Here is one type of video we can make.
Download Option (Patrick's Idea)
Add a "download" feature that allows anyone to automatically download the VoteReport data to a CSV file and to a KML Google Earth file.
