Thanks! The only people I've really connected with are other voting theory nerds. There's a voting theory mailing list where a lot of academics hang out. Some of them are leaders in the field like Forest Simmons and some others I haven't interacted with as much. Maybe once I have more to show I could reach out to wider audiences
The electoral methods are sourced from various places. When I get the new site up and running I want to have a spec source for each of the methods' implementations since some of the names can be confusing. A lot of the methods were found on the electowiki[0] which is run by the same people who do the mailing list. Many others I just found from reading articles, publications, textbooks,[1] and even wikipedia. I've kept a list of ones I wanna implement so I've just been slowly working through them. But there's a strong bias towards simple to implement ones so far. The much-loved (by voting theorists) ones won't be implemented for a while until I figure out how to do things more efficiently
