Pascal, thanks for your proposal for a GUI for voting preferences.

I think the imminent fork is going to mean that the voting will be of less importance to coin owners, especially smaller holders. As only one grant will be awarded after the fork, it'll simplify the voting and mean that preferences come into play less.

The voting will be effectively be AV or instant runoff voting

Instructions to new coin holders on voting for MCF are very straightforward -

Send .00000001 MEG (1 satoshi) to MVTEoEoXmYzFydRfg5uNJRewt9tZ329fAN to vote for the MemoryCoin foundation.

While it would still be nice to have a GUI for allocating preferences, I don't see it as a priority right at this moment. But feel free to undertake any development or improvements you wish. I can't guarantee they'll be included until I've seen them, but I've no objection.
