Hi folks,
Today, I'm releasing v0.2.0 of "ABIF web tool" (awt) and abiftool. To
refresh your memory, ABIF is "Aggregated Ballot Information Format", and is
a format for expressing the aggregated results of an election.[1]
The release notes for the respective releases can be found here:
https://github.com/electorama/abiftool/releases/tag/v0.2.0https://github.com/electorama/awt/releases/tag/v0.2.0
In short, the marquee feature of this release is the incorporation of
compatibility with Brian Olson's "RCV Election Data" from
https://bolson.org/voting/votedata/ , along with the display of this data
here:
https://abif.electorama.com/tag/from-bolson
Brian's data significantly augments the modest collection of election data
that I was providing before today. While I had slowly been adding other
formats to abiftool, this is the first bulk conversion I've performed from
another collection. I designed the user interface of the ABIF web tool
such that it wouldn't COMPLETELY fall apart if I increased the number of
elections, but now that there are over 400 elections shown, we're now
testing the limits of the current interface.
Please let me know your feedback, either here on this mailing list, or send
a personal email to me at roblan(a)gmail.com .
