== Discussions ==
The discussions about ABIF have been happening in several places:
* In May 2021, the main discussions were on the /r/[[EndFPTP]] subreddit and on the [[EM-list]].<ref name="EM-post-2788">http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2021-May/002788.html</ref><ref name="robla-comment-reddit-2020-05-26">https://www.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/comments/nkm2cd/standardizing_cardinal_ballot_notation/gzls6pj/</ref><ref>http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2021-May/002789.html</ref>
* In June 2021, the discussions shifted over to the EM-list, and then mostly on the GitHub issue tracker.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/electorama/abif/issues|title=electorama/abif issue tracker on GitHub|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/electorama/abif/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed|title=electorama/abif closed issues on GitHub|url-status=live}}</ref>
