ABIF stands for "aggregated ballot information format"[1]. In 2021, User:RobLa started a GitHub repo under the "Electorama!" branding.[2]
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.[3][4][5]
- In June 2021, the discussions shifted over to the EM-list, and then mostly on the GitHub issue tracker.[6][7]
- In July 2021, conversations were dying down, but then User:RobLa published an EBNF file describing ABIF. More activity occurred on GitHub.[6][7]
- By August 2021, conversations mostly shifted over to GitHub. User:RobLa opened the "Discussions" area on electorama/abif on GitHub, and provided an update on the project.[8]
- By April 2022, User:RobLa put a poll on GitHub: https://github.com/electorama/abif/discussions/31
Details
ABIF uses the UTF-8 character encoding.
Test cases
The normative set of test cases are on GitHub, and we'll be expanding them there.[9]
