I don't think that there was a conclusive result. Here's my impression of the tentative results of that discussion:
- During that discussion, SODA voting<http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/SODA>was invented. - There was some discussion of the simplest Condorcet method. To my mind, people made a convincing argument that Copeland//Approval (ranking at any level counts as approval, most-approved candidate of those with most victories wins) was the simplest method and overall a pretty good one. - There was also discussion of uniting behind approval as a first step to reform, although there are certainly those who are dissatisfied with this option. - The consensus statement<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oyJLxI9dciXBbowM5mougnbGHzkL3Ue1QkD8nnMwWLg/edit?hl=en_US>discussion, still active, grew out of this discussion. As to resources for educating a non-academic audience... I think that the consensus statement, linked above, is a pretty good one. I'd also offer my quora answers about voting systems<http://www.quora.com/Jameson-Quinn/Voting-Systems/answers>. And I'd be interested in helping create such resources. If you could be a little more specific about audience and format, I'll try to help.
