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
 
My journal contains my electoral reform thoughts generally, and might not be specific to Electowiki

==== 2020-05-04 ====
[[Wikipedia:May the 4th|May the 4th]] be with you! I have some thoughts about how we should talk about [[Burlington 2009]]. I plan to capture them at [[User:RobLa/Burlington2009]].
 
==== 2020-04-22 ====
In 2020, I've had a few things that I'd like to do with Electowiki. My main role so far has been:
 
# Primary liaison with Miraheze. The site doesn't host itself, and the Miraheze SRE team does an amazing job ensuring the site stays usable. See more about my Miraheze work over at [[meta:User:RobLa/TODO]].
# Continuing my role as [[Electowiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]] and [[Electowiki:Administrators|administrator]] for Electowiki.
 
See '''[[User:RobLa/TODO]]''' if you're interested in my Electowiki TODO list.
 
=== 2019 ===
During most of 2019, I was focused on my role as Director of Core Infrastructure at [[Wikipedia:Internet Archive|Internet Archive]] (IA). When I left IA in November, I wrote my "[https://robla.blog/2019/11/05/end-of-a-chapter/ End of a Chapter]" blog post on November 5.
 
In November and December, [[Special:Contributions/RobLa|my activity here]] on Electowiki really picked up. Additionally, I started speaking with the folks at Miraheze, and by the end of the year, it became clear that I was joining the Miraheze board. See my blog post about the history of Electowiki and my involvement with Miraheze (titled "[https://robla.blog/2019/12/23/why-donate-to-a-non-profit-with-a-hard-to-pronounce-name/ Why donate to a non-profit with a hard-to-pronounce name?]") for a detailed history of why I got into electoral reform and found myself working with [[Electowiki:Miraheze|Miraheze]].
 
=== 2018 ===
2018 was the year that [[User:Psephomancy]] did 90% of the work migrating Electowiki over to Miraheze, and I puttered around for the next year or so doing the last 10%. When it was mostly moved over, I started using Miraheze as a place for drafting up my ideas for MAF and MATT.
 
==== MAF and MATT ====
A couple of new voting systems I worked on in late 2018 as possible alternatives to California's [[W:Jungle primary|jungle primary]]:
 
* [[Majority approval filter]] ([[MAF]])
* [[Maximum approval top-two]] ([[MATT]])
 
...and a draft thing:
