Ranking could be pretty simple to implement like this:
(1) Provide an executable /usr/local/bin/ballot on dev.gentoo.org that
would create an appropriately umasked file ~/.ballot and dump into
it a randomized list of the candidates.
$ ballot --new
Please edit ~/.ballot, putting your first choice at the top,
second choice on the second line, down to your last choice on
the bottom line.
(2) After editing, the user would then verify they didn't screw up the
edit by running ballot again.
$ ballot --check
Looks good! Please leave ~/.ballot in place until after the
election is concluded.
or
$ ballot --check
Your ballot is missing the following candidates: ...
etc.
(3) When the election is finished, we'd use another script to collect
all the votes and generate the listing to put into the Condorcet
calculator.
I'd volunteer to write "ballot".
Regards,
Aron
