Wikidriver and Whoot Version e
Wikidriving is a software concept in which the wiki is edited by robots which take blog, wiki and web pages as their input. They edit the pages just as humans would, rather than altering the MediaWiki software. By doing this the software can adapt to different wiki and blog software and combine them together.
Whoot Version e
I (Pyrrho) am running Whoot Version e which is software to count votes in the format found on Feature Article Candidates. It can count other votes in the same format, use the talk page to request other pages be counted or enter the article name in the "Tally Me" section below.
Currently it's counted by the hour. The tally can go anywhere, currently the Feature Article Candidates tally goes to a "MediaWiki" namespace article because these can be included into other pages.
Whoot Version e
I'm writing some software to do this sort of thing for dkos and dkosopedia and this media in general. I'm writing it to do things I would like to do by hand but for two things, it's tedious and I'm lazy. That is the root of engineering after all. I have not decided what sort of licence I'd ever share the software under, it's just tools I'm using to edit in an automated way... the editing becomes the configuring process which pipes content from the stream represented by a scoop-diary type of system.

How The Tally is Edited Into the Page
The robot leaves a page named "MediaWiki:FeatArtTally". This can be inserted into a page with this text: "\{\{msg:FeatArtTally\}\}".
Want Something Voted On
If you have something you want voted on, please tell blowi by putting the page below in the "TallyMe" list. I'd be happy to add more pages.
It's approval voting and I'm open to recommendations regarding plans to improve the system used. For example, other pages might want other standard voting algorithms used. Feel free to create a page even to enumerate desired types of voting and link from here.
