Sounds good Funny enough I played around with adding a competition entry form to an old wordpress blog of mine lunchtime yesterday. It's sitting here if anyone wants to take a look at it. Although it's unfinished, it is actually 'hooked up' email-wise so be warned - anything u submit will be emailed to me!

Ofcourse we do have our very own design guru - qwazix!

The wordpress idea is pretty neat fcrochik, I hadn't realised that you could group posts by category tags - that would take a lot of work out of me creating the threads manually too I don't think I have enough bandwidth on my old blog hosting to handle the uploads/views/downloads without getting charged for exceeding it, do you think you'd have enough? Or anyone else? If you do register a domain I'll share the cost of that, though it's probably not necessary. Would be neat though

Or is it just simpler to update the wiki and/or everyone email me with details and I'll create threads on here?

I see what you mean, it's a good idea. Hmm.. but then you have the counter argument that, by making an application in an unpopular category, perhaps they deserve more of an award for their efforts..? A fixed number of prizes per category keeps it really simple.. until you dont have enough entries :P If possible, I'd love to find a half way solution where unallocated prizes can spill over into other categories but in the fairest way possible. It's tricky, because using your idea if you got 6 entries in one category but they were all excellent it could also be unfair to reward only 3 prizes. The other prizes could go to another category which had more entries but possibly to inferior applications. Sometimes you can't win every way you try It's trying to find the best-worst solution

It's a good call too, fcrochik. The reason I wanted a prize per application, rather than a prize per person, was that if a developer put that extra effort in then shouldn't they be rewarded for that? If the maemo.org users like two applications enough to vote both into a prize winning position then it means that the users are happy to see the developer rewarded for both.

I can see both directions being 'right', let's get some more thoughts from the folks out there
