<td width="30%"><font size="2">Who is working on XRepublic?</font></td>

<td colspan="2" width="70%"><font size="2">From its inception in 1998, Michael 

  Bowen has been the sole designer of the XRepublic. At present I am pseudocoding 

  and working on classes and methods. I hope to have enough designed soon 

  such that I can open it up to more capable programmers than myself. I expect 

  to collaborate in due time.</font></td>

  system be open source?</font></td>

<td width="30%" valign="top"><font size="2">Will the Government ever adopt 

  XRepubic or other electronic voting schemes?</font></td>

<td colspan="2" width="70%"><font size="2">I think it is inevitable even if 

  it never happens in my lifetime. Even so, that's not important. Democracy 

  is not strictly governmental. There are lots of areas of human endeavor 

  which are not strictly governmental which require voting systems. I know 

  Roberts Rules of Order not because I ever held a government office but because 

  I was in a student organization. NGOs of all sorts, sophisticated online 

  gaming systems, academic simulations, even market research can be accomodated 

  by the functions of an XRepublic. </font></td>
