* GNOME Foundation hacked together a system in the

implemented their own little system to collect votes for
their annual Directorship elections, using OpenSTV on the backend to
count the votes.
This project is a fork of GNOME's work, with *just* the voting stuff
included. Most of the GNOME-isms have been removed, although a few remain.
Since I needed STV specifically, this seemed like the best option (mainly
because I didn't know about E-Vote when I started, I'd probably have used
E-Vote if I'd known about it before I started modifying the GNOME
Foundation's code). Thus, this project is a fork of GNOME's work, with
*just* the voting stuff included. Most of the GNOME-isms have been removed,
although a few remain.
I've also offered patches back to the GNOME Foundation repository by
cherry-picking changes that are of use to both projects.
