With gracious hosting and technical help from Rob Lanphier, Electowiki [ http://wiki.electorama.com] has been established: a new free-content wiki dedicated to discussing election methods related material. This wiki is intended first and foremost for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Electorama community.
The Frequently Asked Question [ http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Electowiki:FAQ ] Why not just use Wikipedia? 1. Wikipedia is not a research community. New systems, new methods for evaluating systems, new insight, and new jargon are invented frequently on the mailing list. Electowiki can serve as the wiki for this research community. 2. Many of us research not just for knowledge, but also for change. Electowiki can be the place where we collaborate on arguments for change, craft draft letters to use when we write to groups where we are involved, et cetera. The mailing list already serves this purpose, but a wiki can serve it even better. Because Electowiki and Wikipedia's content are both free content, they can be perfect complements to one another, incorporating content from the other whenever useful. Toward that end, I have seeded the site with articles from Wikipedia's voting projects. I hope that everyone reading this will join in and make it something great. --Dan Keshet ---- Election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
