This is going to be where keep a journal of my Electowiki-related thoughts and ideas. Sort of like a blog, but I have a blog at https://robla.blog , and that's where I do my "blogging". This will be my journal writing about Electowiki-related stuff. Moreover, my editing of the section for the day will be pretty free form. See [[User:RobLa/Journal#2020-05-18|my "2020-05-18" entry]] for more of my thoughts (that I wrote on May 18th).
Line 4 ⟶ 5:
My journal contains my electoral reform thoughts generally, and might not be specific to Electowiki.

1/ Much to talk about today. I added a "fauxheader" template to the top of my journal page. I think I like that format, so that it's really unambiguously clear that each page in my subpage namespace is from me ([[User:RobLa]]), so that I don't have to keep referring to myself in the third person. I also just added an "updated" field, so that I can use the "<code><nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki></code>" to insert today's date. It's going to add it in UTC, but ... well... we may all have to get used to UTC.
I also accidentally switched into [[VisualEditor]] for a second, which ended up changing a LOT of the whitespace in my document. I'm kinda surprised that that happened, but it was fairly easy for me to recover from.
Anyway, I'm adding this journal entry because I wanted to highlight a conversation I've been having over at the [[C4ES Discord server]]. One of the people there was promoting "[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P6v5275NnWzRMswBKMzga4uy1-7b7zz7q3PiJ4-iNaA/edit Approval scored voting]". It's interesting (to me) how [[wikipedia:Google Docs|Google Docs]] is starting to become competitive with wikis as a technology. I still prefer using [[MediaWiki]] though, and it seems that the person promoting "approval score voting" may be as well. So we might see them over here.... (?)
