Sorry for my late reply.

I tried now to get openSTV running on my N900 but it fails already during the installation. I'm currently not patient enought to find out what I have done wrong and perhaps it is already not any longer needed.
We have a good example how the output looks like. Thanks to Wonko and neal.

I suggested only the Borda system because it gaves us the output we need, Nemein has not that much work with it and everyone is able to check how it works and count the votes manually with pen and paper if needed. At least I understood how it works!

And luckily, at least at Wonkos example category, the final order is (except place 5 and 6) the same. I hope this won't change for the other categories.

Borda was only a suggestion. If someone is able to find a fairer, more transparent and easier to do counting process at the homepage of openSTV please point us to it.

And neal, thanks for all your effort. It works but in my own and personal opinion it is a little bit complicated.

Maybe add the second, third, ... places as well?
Then I'll submit the results to Nemein for publishing.
Mmmh... I would say Nemein should do the counting themselves. If we select the Borda algorithm this should be possible without a big problem.

Everybody (perhaps except myself) is later able to doublecheck the counting.

The only matter we should check before: Are there projects with the same quantity of votes in the first places and discuss how we could solve this if something like this happens.
