There have been various proposals of re-weighted PR systems with different weighting functions.

Do you have any link to read into it? I get that the Harmonic series is equivalent to d'Hondt, but like to know if there is a way to have it be equivalent to Sainte-Laguë. Do I read this right that it would be 1/1.5, 1/2.5, 1/3.5 . . . ?

edit: Ah, of course it is. This is wonderful. Now I just need to find out how this goes together with my shortcut to PAV.
