There is no server component to this, so if you want to play with it you can download the files to your computer, edit them to your heart's content and it will all work. The processing is done in _javascript_, which has a lot of advantages for some of the future plans I have for this. For instance, it doesn't really matter if an algorithm is inefficient, since it is processed on the client. Also there is a certain transparency to be had by having the processing (at least the post-pairwise matrix processing) happen on the client. And of course the ease that anyone can muck with it without having to have perl, php, a web server, or any of that sort of thing running (all you need is a browser and text editor).
To allow an actual election to take place there will have to be a server component of course.
The scoring stuff is experimental. I'm sure I'll do other tabulation methods, but I figured I'd start with the scoring algorithm I came up with, and try not to lose sleep over who is offended by that :) . I'm also planning on doing some stuff to display "relative scores" on the bar chart....soon. Got various other plans for this, but I figured I'd throw what I've got out there for now. It will probably be several weeks before I do more with it since I can't afford much more time right now.
