Great! Sounds like some good project ideas already

IMO we're keeping rules for entries fairly simple, it needs to be an application that is functionally complete, runs safely and it should run easily on the n900. Ofcourse we're an open source community, though personally Im fine with closed source can still be entered - imo the community can determine if they want to judge on that or not. The spirit of the contest is to get fresh new development flowing, whether on new or to existing projects, during the competition dates (May 21st - June 21st) so it's not really for re-announcements of work already completed and available. But, for example, finishing a project, rewriting, or adding new functionality is totally suitable for voting on by the community. Teams are fine, and you can enter as many projects as you like.

If in doubt, enter anyway and the community will decide whether to support your efforts or not

If entrants could add a little something to their entries describing them, something like the following would be great:

Project name:
Project description:
Developer(s) Also add if you are a beginner or experienced
Open source or not:
General description of the changes/work you've completed on it, including a bit about the new coding during the comp timeframe: This is so people who are not familiar with the project can understand what you've done, and this is a good place to make your "pitch" for our support

This is a new comp and still a little bit experimental, but hopefully that all makes sense

Oh, and Im sure it's obvious but prizes are given per winning project so if you have 10 members in your first place winning project's team you might get a lot of great coding done but you may need to work out amongst yourselves who's getting the trip lol
