In the context of the WMF elections, it just means that results are
determined by comparing each candidate to each other candidate in groups of
two, assigning a winner and a loser for each pair based on how voters ranked
them, and then ranking the candidates by number of "pairwise victories" to
determine the final results.
It looks like Pairwise
comparison<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairwise_comparison>isn't
included
Pairwise <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pairwise> disambiguation page. I'll
go fix that....
