^^^ Nicola, you mentioned a wish list yesterday and I asked, as it was your idea, if you would go ahead and make one. Have you created a wish list thread then? Give me the link and i'll link it in to the first post.

The competition is open to everyone, the idea is to get more development happening from everyone. There is a bit of a sub-competition open for beginners only (you might have noticed in the thread I was enquiring about purchasing 3 lazor cut stands as part of my bounty to be given as prizes only for beginners). Ive asked entrants to mark their submission with "beginner" if they'd like to be considered. If others would like to offer donations/prizes for beginners I dont see why we couldnt accommodate that.

Voting will be subjective, people will put their own value on what's entered. You mentioned projects may be WIP for some time which is great. On the other hand, other people will equally likely to vote for something fresh and new. Just because someone has more experience doesnt mean they have the ideas that capture voters imagination. Plus it's good practise, and newbies will find help and encouragement Im sure.

I'd suggest we definitely dont make it a Qt only competition. More Nokia involvement would be great, and maybe if this one is a success they will get more involved in arranging regular competitions. So help us to achieve that

Out of interest, are you planning on entering an application, and what development framework were you thinking of?

Edit: Thanks to EarthRise for spotting the broken link in the first post! Fixed.
