(→2021-01-01: Happy New Year everyone!!!! I decided to fix up the Main Page of electowiki, and then got distracted figuring out how to use Special:CategoryTree, and experimenting with transclusion. I also rewrote the lead section at the top of User:RobLa/Journal) |

'''User:RobLa/Journal''' contains my electoral reform thoughts, and might not be specific to Electowiki. That said, it's largely been a journal of electowiki-related thoughts and ideas. I treat it sort of like a blog, but I have a blog at < https://robla.blog >, and that's where I do my "blogging". My editing in each section below has been pretty free form. See [[User:RobLa/Journal#2020-05-18|my "2020-05-18" entry]] for more of my thoughts on using a wiki as a journal
I did a lot of editing of this page in 2020

1/ I added this earlier: [[User:RobLa/ABIF]]. ABIF stands for "Aggregated Ballot Image Format". When election results are published in [[IRV]] elections, it's typically in a very unreadable format. ABIF is intended to be a simplified format that can be used as election shorthand on the [[EM-list]] as well as in the /r/[[EndFPTP]] forum.
The format is a riff off of a format recently proposed on [[EndFPTP]]. The user who proposed it was focused on [[score]] ballots. My format also works with ranked ballots, without forcing phony ratings into the format. I merged that format with the format that /user/jman722 proposed on reddit. I used back in 1996 (see [[User:RobLa/TPJ]], and made the beginnings of a specification in my email to the [[EM-list]]. It seems it would be interesting to write a parser for my proposed format, and does some cleanup on raw ABIF files.
