However - for voting software - probably easiest to create a page on Wikipedia - and just catalog software available - capabilities - license and such - similar to this page:

I still hope for integration and aggregation of a lot of open source election and voting software, just as there is with Linux for our open source operating system. So if there are open source election solutions already in the UK and in Apache, let's integrate and aggregate. CAVO can do that.

P.S. I copied Jim Jagielski to this thread. He's one of the best authorities I know for integrating and aggregating open source software.

The San Francisco report (San Francisco Local Agency Formation Commission entitled "Study on Open Source Voting Systems") does not support online voting at this time for reasons relating to security and legal certification. But there is no reason why an open source project can't develop online voting tools for our own uses.

For example, the Apache membership votes every year for a board of directors and for new members. They already trust email from specific email addresses. They already trust online voting. They and/or we can create an open source online voting module for ourselves regardless of what government agencies are yet prepared to trust.

P.S. The existing Apache ALv2 license is also acceptable to government agencies, and it is already compatible with both GPLv3 and MPLv2 licenses! :-)
