Good news from woody He's confident with his voting mechanism tweaks (thanks again woody), and if I can get a final list to him (he said today but it's going to be tomorrow at this time, 11pm here and I need my beauty sleep) then we *may* be able to do something next week with the voting depending on X-Fade and his commitments.

That also gives me time to put all your submissions into threads for the voting.

Grrr you guys!!

*shakes fist*

Before you all ask me obscure questions about your applications - I really can't sanction any updates cos I know it will open a flood! The problem with giving an inch is that it's only a matter of time before someone takes a mile, right? Just don't ask me ok, and please don't give me a decision to make later if someone brings something up

I think if it's something that makes the existing application features more robust, or otherwise makes your existing features work better, then *perhaps* we can probably over look it If it's some new functionality, especially if it's something in exchange for votes, ohhh I could release the evil otter on you



Picture this... in most app contests you have to email or upload your app to a jury who then decides who wins. In the maemo.org competition world, we try to be as open as possible - so the users are the jury. When you email or upload your app in those other horrible contests you can't change it. It's consistent with your submission details, right? And that's what you're judged against.

We want to achieve a similar situation with our lovely fluffy contest, else do we need to think about a jury in future? I don't think we want that

So please all do try to keep your applications features in line with your submissions. Bug fixes and maybe the odd tweak, don't go crazy on adding new stuff.. remember, the otter! He's waiting! He's looking at you!

I don't think the area is very grey, a feature is something new, a bug is something that doesn't work as expected.
qwazix says it better in two sentences than me with a post full of otters could ever say it
