Thanks fcrochik. Hmm .. yeah I can see what you're saying, but i can also see that opening a can of worms.. with people suggesting some categories are more deserving than others, and that categories with fewer entries should maybe get more devices (those types of applications could be less represented in the community and that work maybe valued more). Hmm..

From the organising point of view, hoping to get away with the quick category change as 2 seconds updates the wiki rather than another week or more re-discussing the categories and device split etc.

In terms of drama by changing the rules, hopefully people come into the competition understanding that things can and most likely will change as we go along. The community is changing around us, sometimes we have to adapt to that. There's also a sneaky "(NB: The final details are still being ironed out, so the below is subject to change. Keep watching this space!)" in the competition wiki to cover changes The fact is it won't be the first or probably not the last change as we go through, but we try to keep them at a minimum
