[EM] The election-software mailing list

[Rob Lanphier]

Hi folks,

There's been a lot of talk about DMARC and other SMTP related lingo
regarding email delivery.  This sort of debugging information is probably
only useful to Dreamhost (the host for this list), and I suspect that no
one from Dreamhost pays attention to this mailing list.  I don't have a
sufficient level of access to the server to be able to use the information
y'all are digging up.   Depending on how an experiment that I've started
conducting, I may move the election-methods mailing list to a new host.

I've started a new "election-software" mailing list, which y'all are
invited to join (as long as you don't introduce too much drama to that
list, or dominate the conversation too much by sending way-too-many
messages per day to the list):
https://electorama.com/es

The election-software mailing list is a discussion forum for software
related to elections. This can be everything from the user interface
presented to voters through the counting of the ballots all of the way
through to the random mechanism used to break ties. Debating the merits of
various election methods should be left to the election-methods mailing
list or various other forums where the merits of IRV vs STAR vs Approval vs
Condorcet methods are discussed.

My hope is that the modernized moderation tools available to me on my new
host will make it easier for me to be a good moderator (and not the
absentee moderator I've been on this list).  There's a LOT of work involved
in migrating the archives from one host to another, which is why I've
hesitated to migrate the election-methods list, but perhaps the
election-software mailing list will be a good place to test out a new home
for election-methods.

Hi folks,

If you are reading this email message, you're probably reading the archive
for the list.  As of this writing, I'm the only member.  I'm planning on
announcing this mailing list in other forums eventually.

This mailing list is going to be specifically about software related to
elections.  This can be everything from the user interface presented to
voters through the counting of the ballots all of the way through to the
random mechanism used to break ties.  Debating the merits of various
election methods should be left to the election-methods mailing list (
https://electorama.com/em ) or various other forums where the merits of IRV
vs STAR vs Approval vs Condorcet methods are discussed.

Code of conduct (for now) is going to be the same as for the
election-methods mailing list.  I'll describe all of this later.  Anyway, I
look forward to discussing election software with you!

Rob
