Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Sorry, no script. But it can be written.
I run:
Copy/paste the winner into a file. :)
Edit the blt file and add -x, where x is the place of the app in the file, as the second line, to indicate the candidate has withdrawn.

Like:

Run again:
Repeat until I don't have enough winners.

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

I see. Thank you for the explanation. You're right, the difference is probably in the distribution of votes after a candidate is eliminated. In neal's solution it's distributed the same, while my solution gives it to other apps.
I think neal's solution is better. And vote to use it. :)

I imagine myself a Live Video stream - Zehjotkah rolling a big dice to chose the election counting system... :(

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Aaaah... so finally no other doubts from anyone? :)

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

So, do we have a consensus then?

@neal: I think the next step would be that you add the last places for each category as mentioned by zehjotkah? So zehjotkah can take your result list and send it to nemein. To make the job easier for zehjotkah I think it would be a good idea to repost all results in a new post here in this thread. This way zehjotkah does not need to search this thread to find the relevant post.

In the System and Utility category there was some "anomaly" which yielded in only 18 of the 20 candidates being ranked. I propose that the missing candidates are assigned a shared last place in this case. As this is far beyond the 5th place these last entries are not significant anyhow.

Do you all agree with this procedure?

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

I think main difference between the two solutions is that neal's one only transfers surplus votes, while mmlado's transfer all votes from the winner. So I agree neal's one is probably better.

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Sometimes I'm able to remember why I started to love this maemo / MeeGo system - because of the community. Yes, we have fanboys, we have trolls and sometimes personal discrepancies, but in the end of a long respectful discussion facts and technical aspects matter. :)

I'm fine with neal's solution although I would like to see my baby ClipMan rather at the 2nd place instead of the 3rd! But that's life! For me it is already the 1st. ;)

Thanks for all working out a good solution for the voting process. And thanks Zehjotkah for this great community project! :)

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Thank you everyone!
I couldn't have done this on my own.
neal: if you could post the final results again you would be my personal hero... ;)

Cheers,
zehjotkah

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Please note: There is some problem with the reproducibility of the results in the Games category. From the 13th place on the order of elected candidates changes randomly if you run neal's script several times. Up to the 12th place the results are constant. I assume this is due to the way OpenSTV tries to brake ties by introducing some randomness. I ran the script several times and the random changes only appear from the 13th place on. For the other categories there was no such random behavior.

What do you think about this?

Below I post the results I calculated using neal's script.
These results have been calculated with neal's script. Additionally, I added the last places manually by comparing which entries are not yet included in the ranked output of neal's script. In case of the Games Category there were three candidates that had not been included in the ranked output. I put these on a shared last place 19 as proposed in my post above. I ordered the results according to the election id's on the voting web site.

Re: MeeGo Coding Competition 2011
 

Here is a proposal on how to solve the "radomness issue" in the Games category: As we already have some apps sharing the last place in this category we could as well decide that all apps from the 13th place on share the last place. This would avoid the confusion that is caused by the randomness.

It's a little exhausting that new problems pop up every time we think that all issues are solved. I hope we can bring this to an ending with which we all can live soon.
