I hope everyone is interested in a new online survey site intended to prove how much better IRV-enabled surveys are than traditional "one choice" or approval surveys. http://TryIRV.us is the current url, and we are still correcting it and adding features. It is based on Demochoice code.
I would suggest that you use a Condorcet method instead of IRV, or at least that, in your IRV code, consider a runoff between the bottom two in the elimination stage, and then eliminate the one voted below the other by the most voters. Doing so would go a long way in fixing the IRV problems exhibited in the 2009 Burlington election.
With a name like TryIRV.us, tinkering with the method might not be practical, though.
