<p>To run the vote counting scripts, you need to perform several
|
||
|
|
steps:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>First, obtain copies of the <a
|
||
|
|
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2001-November.txt.gz">ballot
|
||
|
|
archive</a> (referred to below as 2001-November.txt), the <a
|
||
|
|
href="http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/2001-eligible-members.txt">membership
|
||
|
|
list</a> (2001-eligible-members.txt), and the two voting scripts, <a
|
||
|
|
href="http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/list-addresses.py">list-addresses.py</a>
|
||
|
|
and <a
|
||
|
|
href="http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/vote-counter.py">vote-counter.py</a></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Then, extract the valid voting addresses from the membership list:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py 2001-eligible-members.txt > addresses.txt</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Next, run the vote counter script; it's probably best to save the results to a file (they are long):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>$ python vote-counter.py 2001-November.txt
|
||
|
|
gnome-foundation-secret-cXjoS6521 addresses.txt > results.txt</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be
|
||
|
|
generated at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors
|
||
|
|
will represent problems which are fixed later in the archive
|
||
|
|
(manifested by the voter having a counted ballot later in the
|
||
|
|
results). The final tallies will be at the bottom.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>To exactly replicate the posted results, you should apply this <a
|
||
|
|
href="http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/2001-vote-archive.diff">diff
|
||
|
|
file</a>, which represents the votetakers' changes to the voting
|
||
|
|
archive to fix malformatted ballots to reflect the evident intent of
|
||
|
|
the voters.</p>
