Subject: Preference ballot tabulation: Condorcet with Dual Dropping 5.6
Condorcet with Dual Dropping Perl scripts release 5.6
http://condorcet-dd.sourceforge.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/condorcet-dd/
http://freshmeat.net/projects/condorcet_dd/?topic_id=234
A vote tabulation and ranking system for deciding single or
multi-winner contests (elections) using preference or approval
ballots. Dual Dropping will compute the Schwartz Sequential Dropping
(SSD) and Tideman's Ranked Pair (RP) results for each contest round
and select the combined SSD and RP contest outcome with the lowest
overall dropping cost. It has options to compute just the SSD or RP
outcome, various optional tie-breakers, and alternative measures of
defeat and dropping cost (winning votes and/or margin). See
documentation on SourceForge.
Available in RPM package, tar.gz, or tar.bz2 formats and zip format
for Microsoft Windows (with setup.exe install wizard).

Subject: Guikachu 1.3.7: GNOME Resource editor for PalmOS projects
Dear users of both large and small computing tools,
A new development release of Guikachu is available.
About Guikachu
==============
Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.
Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/
Features
========
* Uses GNOME-VFS, you can load files from anywhere, e.g. from the
Web, from an SMB share, from a tarball.
* Exporting to PilRC .rcp files
* Support for non-Palm PilRC targets (like the eBookMan)
* Support for the following PalmOS resource types:
- String and string list resources
- Dialog resources
- Menu resources
- Form resources
- Bitmap resources
- Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
* WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability and visual resizing
* Flexible, complete undo support
* Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
* Documentation (a complete user's manual)
About these releases
====================
This release is part of the 1.3 development branch, so it's all about
crazy experimentations and not about providing a polished, well-tested
product -- so don't quite replace your 1.2 Guikachu just yet.
New in this version:
* Text positioning fixes
* Support for graphical buttons and other widgets
* Now you can use the same ID for different widgets if they are in
different Forms
* New (Czech) and updated translations
* Documentation updates
Guikachu uses GTKmm and GNOMEmm for its user interface. I/O is
implemented via GNOME-VFS, the XML storage format is managed with the
libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via libglade. GConf is used
to store user preferences. You will need the versions of these
packages available in the GNOME 1.4 bundle (with the exception of
GNOMEmm which you will need to upgrade to the recently released
version 1.2.4). The ImageMagick library is used for managing bitmap
resources. To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also
need PilRC (part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files
produced by Guikachu.
Beware of bugémons!
