Where should I submit the "entry.txt"?

We're nearly there! Im dreading making all these voting threads :p You may be wondering how we're doing with the bounty, well we've got €519.98 collected so far! :) A billion thanks to everyone who donated!!

According to google, that works out to be just over $670 (therefore just over $100 a category) so if there's no complaints or better ideas we'll award it as follows:

• Each of the 6 categories will get an equal share, ie. the bounty/6.
• First place will be awarded 50% of the category share
• Second place will be awarded 30% of the category share
• Third place will be awarded 20% of the category share

So in total there will be 18 prizes (6 categories * 3 winners each), in addition to the big Nokia prizes :)

Remember, anyone who has still to donate, there's still a week to donate if you'd still like to! ;)

It's been quiet, but we are still running a beginners contest. I have updated the wiki participation list with a column for you to say if you would like your entry to be entered into it too. The beginners compo will run parallel and is open to any author who has/is releasing his first code project within the competition dates. Simply stick a "Yes" in the column and you're entered into both, simple as :) And ofcourse you're eligible to win prizes in both too :)

Fake's online store is still not up so Im unsure of the chances of getting those lazer cut stands I promised for the beginners bounty. Instead, I may need to find something else to substitute in. It'll probably not be great, but it'll try and make it cool.. in a geeky way :)

Ofcourse, as I only just added the column, we dont have any entries for the beginners comp yet :p. If I see 3 entries tomorrow morning I'll start ordering something to send to the winners :) I dont want to spend if nobodies gonna enter haha :p

Hmm.. Im sure I forgot something, but this post is kinda getting long anyways. I'll go get some sleep, the real work starts tomorrow and Wed :eek:

Hey Ben, well you can pm the details to me, attach it to a post (if there's no private info in it), add it to your file repository, link it somewhere - as long as I can get at it.You dont necessarily need to have an entry.txt file, as long as I can get the same details requested in the rules. Most of these details will help make up your entry's details in the voting thread, so the better info you give me then the better you can explain and sell it (so to speak). If I got nothing to work with, then I gotta make it up! :p By being on the wiki PenPen is already entered.

Yay, first beginner entry! :p
*not ashamed of being a newb*

Btw, I've updated my entry to 95% - all that's missing right now for version 1.0 are localisation and the darn Readme (I'm terrible at writing those). I might not make it until tomorrow, so please just enter me with the un-localised 95% in that case... ;)

Does the "current progress" listed in the wiki page matter?

I mean, mine's soon 100% for the purposes of the competition (all the current features work) but it's still in -devel and I'll be adding features... So it's not at 100% generally speaking :)

Just a quick question: "July, 21st Midnight" means that entries can be submitted until 2010-07-21 23:59:59 GMT and not 2010-07-21 00:00:00 GMT, right? :-)

I thought you had a readme already..which is why I haven't written one. Unless you mean one that's outside of the application?
