The 0.8 release of ElectionAudits is out.

At this point I'm looking especially for some help on making it work
well with Django on windows, since I don't own a windows box, but that
is what the Boulder clerk wants to run it on....  If you know setuptools
I'm sure that my current setup.py doesn't really capture everything I'd
like it to....  The user interface for parsing the hundreds of
incremental xml reports could also be a lot more friendsly - pehaps a
wxwindows gui to manage.py, or something straight in Django.

Another question relates to xml and xpath:  how can I get e.g. the lxml
package to deal with the "xmlns = 'urn:crystal-reports:schemas'"
namespace declaration in the top node?  Unless I just take that part out
(which I do now before parsing), the xpath queries return nothing at
all, and my attempts to incorporate the namespace in my queries result
in "Invalid expression"....

Some nice css and better templates would make the site look better.

See the ToDo list in the package for many  more ideas of stuff to work
on.

My recent blog post puts things in perspective:

ElectionAudits software - help audit the election!

And the documentation could always be improved.
