History
The Schulze method was developed by Markus Schulze in 1997. It was first discussed in public mailing lists in 1997–1998 and in 2000. Subsequently, Schulze method users included Software in the Public Interest (2003), Debian (2003), Gentoo (2005), TopCoder (2005), Wikimedia (2008), KDE (2008), the Free Software Foundation Europe (2008), the Pirate Party of Sweden (2009), and the Pirate Party of Germany (2010). In the French Wikipedia, the Schulze method was one of two multi-candidate methods approved by a majority in 2005, and it has been used several times.
In 2011, Schulze published the method in the academic journal Social Choice and Welfare.
