Hi Paul et al,

I have another GPL voting project to tell you about.

Too bad kuro5shin.org is so unreliable; I'd love to read the link before 
posting a response. :)

I have been working on electronic and Internet voting systems for the past 
two years.  You can find a summary of my work and perspective on such in 
The Netherlands in this article
  <http://secure.ucd.ie/~kiniry/papers/NL_Voting.html>
and in a few published papers, and in a recent letter published in 
Communications of the ACM.

Two of my current final year students have done related projects.  See
  <http://secure.ucd.ie/about/people/fdf.html>
who worked on
 
<http://www.cs.ucd.ie/courses/undergrad/bsc/FourthYear/projects/Project_74/>
and

Fintan and Alan's great work on the GPLed KOA Remote Voting System is 
available from the KindSoftware GForge at 
<http://sort.ucd.ie/projects/ucdkoa/>.  Their excellent theses, results, 
etc. are published there as well as will be published in an academic forum 
in the coming months.

You can also incidentally see all of the other FOSS projects that my 
students are working on in the GForge.  I teach the first and third year 
Software Engineering Project courses here at UCD which are entirely 
FOSS-based.  My students can use any OS and software they want, so long as 
it is not from Microsoft.  19 out of 20 students use Linux, including all 
1st years.
