[EM] List of primary voting projects

[Michael Allan]

As promised, here is my list of primary voting projects:
http://zelea.com/w/Stuff:List_of_primary_voting_projects

I define "primary voting" as a more-or-less continuous process of
voting in which the results are not decisive.  Its purpose is to build
up a normative consensus or mutual understanding prior to a decision.
The decision itself is usually expressed through a separate mechanism,
as with an election, voting assembly or other authority.

Please let me know if I missed any projects.  Or just edit the list
directly (it's in a wiki).
