Electowiki articles, one for each method. One person supplying all the <br>
links will save time for the rest of us. Personally I'm going to need <br>
to read about some of these methods.<br>
<br>
As I rank them I'm adding a brief note to each method -- [in brackets] <br>
-- to help me keep track of the reasons for my ranking sequence, and to <br>
reveal to others my reasons for my ranking. I might share my non-final <br>
ranking to give others an opportunity to change my mind.<br>
