When I got it, the code had the anonymous token/voter token system for anonymising votes already, but used the old "pick N, and we aggregate all the choices to get the result" GNOME system. I wanted STV with fractional transfer, so I modified step 2 and 3 to use (not working on IE 6 or 7) Javascript to generate the candidate list on the fly, allow the voter to order them, and then submit the ordered ballot. I also modified the database structure to handle the ordering, and added a page to download all ballots in the OpenSTV .blt file format. I did all that for Maemo, and then GNOME copied the code back :) I don't think any major changes beyond making it fit with stylesheets was done to the code when GNOME reused it. So the balloting code's in use by at least 2 communities at this point. One thing we don't do, which I believe other former Sun projects do, is venerate the results on the fly using OpenSTV. Someone needs to download the ballots, generate the result, and store it. Shouldn't be too hard to accomplish, but currently a gap.
