Line 1: This is information about the mailing list archives for the "[[EM-list]]" (the "election-methods" mailing list). ~~#REDIRECT [[EM-list#25th Anniversary]]~~ == Purpose == ~~On February 15, 2021, the [[EM-list\|election-methods mailing list]] will be celebrating its 25th anniversary.~~ The list has long been intended a place for the discussion of the nitty-gritty details of single-winner election reform, the relative merits of different proportional representation systems, and the technical underpinnings of all election methods. "election-methods-list" discussions tend to be technical in nature (or at least, very laden with jargon), with the ultimate goal of providing recommendations and educational material to the electoral reform movement. == History == {{wikipedia\|Majordomo (software)}}{{Main\|EM25}} On February 15, 2021, the election-methods mailing list (the "[[EM-list]]") is celebrating its 25th birthday!!! The EM-list is a mailing list that was started in 1996 and continues to host discussions with [[electoral system]] experts and activists.<ref>https://electorama.com/em/</ref> [[User:RobLa]] jumped the gun when he sent the "Happy Birthday" note to the mailing list.<ref>http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2021-February/002713.html</ref> The list was started in 1996 by Rob Lanphier.<ref>First message to the new EM-list on February 15, 1996: http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/1996-February/065327.html</ref>. Rob Lanphier is "[[User:RobLa]]" on this wiki. It was started as an unofficial spinoff to the "[[ER-list]]", which was more concerned about promoting [[Instant-runoff voting\|single-winner STV]] than diving into the weeds about the [[Electoral systems\|theory of electoral systems]]. === 1996 === See [[EM25]] to see the first message that was sent (on February 15, 1996).<ref>{{subst:Template:A-LINK\|url=http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com//1996-February/065327.html\|title=New "election-methods" list\|anchor=65327\|author=Rob Lanphier}}</ref> See the following links for other messages: * February: [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com//1996-February/thread.html By Thread]) [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com//1996-February/subject.html By Subject] [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com//1996-February/author.html By Author] [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com//1996-February/date.html By Date] ** [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/1996-February.txt.gz 1996-February.txt.gz] -- gzipped plain-text archive.

In 2003, the list moved to the newly-formed [[Electorama.com]] website on [[Dreamhost]], and transitioned to becoming a [[wikipedia:GNU Mailman\|GNU Mailman]]-based mailing list.<ref>[http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2003-March/074889.html <nowiki>[EM] election-methods list move</nowiki>] -- Rob Lanphier, 2003 March 4</ref> [[EM-list]] remains hosted on Dreamhost, but the old "[[Electowiki]]" wiki, hosted on Dreamhost was copied the [[Miraheze]] infrastructure in 2018 and rebranded "[[electowiki]]" (with a lowercase "e"). The old "[[Electowiki]]" wiki is still running to serve up history of articles written prior to 2018. == Future == Who knows? ==Footnotes== <references /> [[Category:Forums]]
