      @cfrank said in We should probably have a status update at some point:

      The tabulation method cannot be centrally controlled as long as the votes are public. The only thing I want the council to possibly do is make an effort to verify, organize and present the results. We do definitely want a way to organize and separately analyze different groups of ballots.

      I hear ya, I'd just hope that could all happen transparently in the forum threads. Any results I posted would link to something like this, where people can paste in ballots, analyze the code, fork the code, etc, so any forum user could check my work (and if they wantm retabulate them in different methods or filtering voters by origin, etc). https://codepen.io/karmatics/pen/ExKZVjM

      I mean, I don't care if council members want to come in and verify them, but I honestly doubt they'd want to do it as anything other than regular forum participants. This stuff just seems to lend itself to forums

      I could see this leading to something more official.... built in widgets and visualizers, pinned threads, permanent pages, etc, and in that case it makes some sense for the council to be able to approve things, but let's just see how this goes first.

      Hopefully if the council does meet soon, they can concentrate on the issues such as entry point, categories/tags, etc... changes that @Jack-Waugh will need to make and I think he wants others to make the decisions before doing so.

      @marylander Maybe the posts have links that point back there and your antivirus software is keying on those (even if you don't click the link)?

      @keith-edmonds Yes, I anticipate that I should be back for the committee. I was going to post something in the loomio thread but I think that a lot of the goals that I was thinking of had already been said (and I don't think I need to try to come up with a whole lot of others since the goals other people stated seem like plenty to do already.)

      @bettervoting Not as far as I know. I checked the Internet Archive to see if they had the image (they did archive some things from the forum but mostly from 2020), but I don't think they archived the thread.

      @Marylander Yes agree completely that it makes more sense to make it more difficult to trigger them in the first place. The whole thing needs a rethinking, it doesn't seem to be designed for our highly polarized world.

      Of course, if any of the methods advocated in this forum were used to elect the governor in the first place, there would be far less likelihood of there being a motivation to do a recall.

      So it is installed? Do I just do this?

      Yes, you do.

      You should probably contact the admins directly about this. Their email is at the bottom of the home page.

      @Marylander "The emails appear to be coming from theory@votingtheory.org" -- Yes, I set that. They have to come from some e-mail address, even if it doesn't make particular sense to reply to that address. Maybe I should set up a "no-reply@votingtheory.org" address.
