<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>

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>
