V 0.7.0: Switched from “Representational Fairness” to the more-interpretable “Vote Wastage”. Wrote enough so that it’s possible to understand what I mean by VW, but this still needs revision for clarity/convincingness. Also pending, change my calculations for specific methods from RF to VW.
V 0.7.1: added a digression on dimesionality, in italics, to the “Measuring “Representation quality”, separate from power” section. Finished converting the existing examples from RF to VW.
V 0.7.2: A terminology change. New terms: Retroactive Power, Effective Voting Equality, Effective Choice, Average Voter Effectiveness. (The term “effective” is a nod toCatherine Helen Spence). The math is the same except for some ultimately-inconsequential changes in when you subtract from 1. Also, started to add a closed list example from Israel; not done yet.
V0.7.3 Still tweaking terminology. Now, Vote Power Fairness, Average Voter Choice, Average Voter Effectiveness. Finished (at least first draft) of closed list/Israel analysis.
V0.9.1: Another terminology tweak. New terms: Average Voter Effectiveness, Average Voter Choice, Average Voter Effective Choice. Also, post-mortem will happen in a separate document. (This same version might later be changed to 1.0)

V0.9: I decided to make a few final edits (mostly, adding a summary and a post-mortem section, which is currently unfinished) then freeze this as is.
(This was done some time ago but I forgot to post it here.)
