Hi folks,
I'm planning to start promoting my work on "abiftool" and "awt" some more. In case y'all aren't familiar with either of these, here's the URLs:
awt (ABIF web tool): https://awt.electorama.com
abiftool: https://github.com/electorama/abiftool
Both of these use the same "abiflib" library to parse a variety of formats, transform those formats to ABIF (or "jabmod", which is the internal format that can be used as a bit of an API to abiflib), and then it spits out election results in a variety of ways. abiftool injustice many formats, and I'm happy to add more. It doesn't spit out many formats yet, but I'm happy to add other formats if the developers of those formats work with me to make it happen.
If y'all aren't familiar with ABIF, please take a look at the ABIF page on electowiki: https://electowiki.org/wiki/ABIF
I would love to get some collaborators on awt and abiftool for pretty much all of the features that are missing from either user interface for either of the tools that I started for ABIF handling. If you want to create an independent implementation (especially in another language besides Python), I'm really interested in that. I'm generally interested in collaborating with folks on software for processing historic elections and theoretical election examples that folks share online.
