Andreas – Joakal

I've ran into some issues as to personal and professional development which largely stopped me from updating the website just before the election. With the election over, I evaluated the responses and aims of the project. Some positive aspects were greater understanding of policies of minor parties and longer history of policies so politicians can't change their mind after every election! However, most of the negative aspects were lack of updates, some were the website's name 'ShockSeat' (I was electrified to hear people asking me to spell it, heh) and the somehow broken nature of the website (Sources seemed to not appear while it wasn't touched it for some reason).

I've decided to discontinue updating ShockSeat.com as converting it to an ideal 'wiki-crowd' contribution system would be time-consuming yet in the long run everyone can contribute and takes some load off me. Instead, I'll convert to static (Loads faster, no longer dynamic). The website will retain its name and act as a personal addition to my portfolio. The code for any custom feature is available from me but for the rest of code, you'll have to grab it from Joomla's website.

For those that contributed, thank you for helping! Your help is a valuable thing!
