Maybe problem was with limiting karma to 10.
I know it was needed, but still it's a little disappointing.
Thanks for the link. Haven't known about it. Very interesting to read.

Here are all links:
This low voter turnout is indeed very sad. Only 1,4% - VERY low. And in the games categorie with 21 submissins we have now only 49 independent voters if the individual developers voted for their own projects.

Look at the Coding Competition 2010 - it was not very high compared to the amount of the registered members, too. Despite it prominent, sticky visibility in the forum have only a minor number of users voted.

I don't think the karma limit of 10 is a reason for this. Members with karma were in the past surely more interested in maemo than Members with less than 10 karma points (expect those who haven't known about linking the two accounts before - yes, it is sad)

But if those karma 10 members are not interested in spending a hour to vote - how many of the other members would have spent a hour to vote?

Hmm... and a other point: Several Members have voted for no submission - "This member chose to vote for none of the possible choices." - perhaps the voting prozess was to complicated?!
