Iteration 2 Plan - Phantawat/ku-polls GitHub Wiki

Goal

• Add an end date to polls, improve navigation and page layout, externalize data for security, and automate running tests.

Milestone

• Milestone 1: Implement the end_date attribute in the Question model and update the database schema.

• Navigation should be intuitive, with added links and improved redirects.
• Configuration data should be externalized, with defaults provided.
• Unit tests for is_published and can_vote should pass.
• All changes should be documented, and the code should adhere to best practices.
