Apache Steve Community, mean Ian Jacobs. Ian Jacobs, meet the Apache Steve Community.

To bring everybody up to speed, Ian works for the W3C, which is evaluating voting systems. Ian came across python-vote-core[1] and has been experimenting with it. Then I mentioned that the ASF employs STV in board elections, and he wanted to compare notes.

Ian mentioned that he has found bugs with python-vote-core and got fixes. I mentioned that our software has been problem free for us for years.

Ian mentioned that he hasn't been able to get visibility into python-vote-core obtains the results it does. I mentioned that our software can produce a debugging output showing every iteration.

Ian mentioned that the Meek rule has a "keep factor" that he didn't yet understand. I mentioned that... oh, wait a minute. I didn't mention anything, because at this point I'm clearly over my head. Instead, I'm doing introductions. :-)

As I said, Apache Steve Community, mean Ian Jacobs. Ian Jacobs, meet the Apache Steve Community.
