How to up-vote a list item?

Question

Some colleagues have asked me how we could implement up- or down- votes as part of the retrospective document produced from the meeting. These folks read a recent Atlassian article, but I cannot find a way to contact, Sarah, its author, nor do I find any obvious means within a JIRA macro to expose the capability. Sarah mentions half way down this article that her team members is provided a means to up-vote, for example, up to three items in each category.

The only way I can see providing this capability is to have each team member open the retrospective document in Confluence for edit to manually insert the up-vote (
) emoticon at the beginning of the bullet while not destroying the other up-votes present there already.

This doesn't prevent double-voting and also doesn't even let the voter know whether they've cast a vote or not.

Hi,

has anybody found a better solution for this yet?
Because we would like to make it easier for people to vote, which might make them more willing to vote :)

I see, Rachel, thanks. I guess we were reading too much into that statement.
