SAVE Change log

Renamed SAVE-01 to SAVE-basics and SAVE-02 to SAVE-voters, to better accommodate the new SAVE-focus.

Added new Explore SAVE Focus page. Currently only text describing the rules. Plan is to add a simulation to allow folks to play with the rules and see how things work and why they are as they are now.

Added body tags to any pages that were missing them. This allows better CSS compartmentalization.

Updated the initial caption in the Spatial Models explorable to more clearly explain why I chose a cycle to be the first spatial depiction of an electorate.

Fixed, or at least improved, indentation on description list items.

Updated text for most of the earlier pages, switching from "alternatives" to "motions" mostly, but other changes as well, trying to be more consistent and accurate.

Further propagation of that last flag. which had caused some explorables to fail in odd ways.

Added an average voter-motion distance metric to the Mandate table in SAVE reports.

I forgot a new flag that needed to be in all my more recent explorables, but I didn't back-port far enough, so my spatial model explorable was quite happily updating its model, but it just wasn't displaying the new positions of the motions and voters. Fixed now. sigh… (But at least I'm getting practice with updating the site. :-)

Added the SAVE Voters explorable.

This early version of the site is aimed at voting theorists: People who have taken close looks at exactly how we vote, and how the exact systems we use to vote can help or hinder our democracies. The initial eight simulations (explorables) are: tournaments, preference profiles, spatial models, IRV using Voronoi diagrams, SAVE basics, Voter metrics, and aggregation.
