Polls

This repository contains current and historical governance polls used in the Sky Protocol.

Structure

The polls repo is organized as follows:

polls/
├── 2025/ # Contains polls conducted in 2025
│ └── e.g. 2024-05-20-community-sentiment.md
├── ... # Additional year directories as needed
├── templates/ # Contains templates for creating new poll files
│ └── poll-template.md
├── meta/ # Contains metadata related to polls (e.g., schema)
│ └── poll-metadata-schema.json
├── index.json # (Optional) An index of all polls for quick lookup
└── README.md # This file

File Naming Convention

Poll files should follow the pattern: <yyyy-mm-dd>-<description>.md.

• <yyyy-mm-dd>: The date the poll is scheduled to begin.
• <description>: A brief, hyphenated description of the poll's topic (e.g., community-sentiment, feature-request).

Components

• Year Directories (YYYY/): Store historical records of polls, organized by the year they were conducted.
• templates/: Contains template files (.md) to ensure consistency when creating new polls. These templates might include standard YAML frontmatter for options and results.
• meta/: Holds metadata related to the polling process, such as JSON schemas for poll structures or result formats.
• index.json: (Optional) A JSON file that could provide a quick index or summary of all polls conducted.
• README.md: Provides an overview of this directory's structure, purpose, and conventions.

Usage

• Create new poll files within the appropriate year directory (e.g., 2024/).
• Use the naming convention <yyyy-mm-dd>-<description>.md.
• Utilize the templates in templates/ to ensure consistent formatting, especially for YAML frontmatter defining options and recording results.
• Refer to schemas in meta/ if applicable for structuring poll data.
