Nevermind
Essentially, it's a "diff". That's some way to display differences in files or other sets of data.

If I understand the format neal chose correctly it means that the numbers in the front indicate the place/rank (1 - first, 2 - second, etc.).

The "-" and "+" signs indicate what's removed and added. So something like:
Code:
1 MeePasswords http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/68
-2 ClipMan http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/13
-3 MeeToDo http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/74
-4 Wallet http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/18
+2 LUCID iron http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/4
+3 ClipMan http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/13
+4 MeeToDo http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/74
Means that the first entry stays the same. While the latter three differ between the two discussed methods for voting in the way that:
Entries 2-4 are remove and replaced with the ones marked with "+".
So
Code:
1 MeePasswords http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/68
2 ClipMan http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/13
3 MeeToDo http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/74
4 Wallet http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/18
becomes
Code:
1 MeePasswords http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/68
2 LUCID iron http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/4
3 ClipMan http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/13
4 MeeToDo http://competition.meetmeego.org/submissions/74
The problem we are now facing is that the two different methods for counting the votes yield in differences in some categories. I think neal mentioned that there are changes in 5 categories. As what I can tell there is even one change at one first placed candidate.
