Dammm!! It's madness on here and on my pms! What are you all doing to me! It's 12.30am and you're destroying my social life! It's great though

So much to answer.. I'll work my way through it, but first a big thank you to our new Bounty heroes! Step forward and receive your medals of honour mobiledivide, Slocan, SallyJane, and Smoku

Cosimo has the spreadsheet but if my maths is right, and it's usually not , we're now up to a magic €566! Which is approximately $731 US wotsits!! How good is that?!

And we still have pledges that have yet to be filled, hopefully more still to come

Also big thanks to Alek, Heli, hgh, Carol, Slocan, Damian, Rob1n, and matrim for sending me their entry pms. Im starting to run out of pm space, I better get pruning If by any chance you should find your pm to me bounced back because inbox full please resend later.. I want to make sure I get everybodys

Ok now onto the questions.. I heard someone has basically given me a kicking in one of the posts so Im not looking forward to coming across that one..

You are quick! If all goes well and you want to enter it or VectorMine, please update the wiki participants list to let us know before the deadline

Pretty much, a screenshot too would be nice. We won't sweat the details just yet, we can always update the voting post if info is not complete. Give me enough to get you entered in the first instance

You're a true programmer, Nathraiben! Writing docs is definitely the suckiest of all sucky things

I wonder if there's any limit to post size on here... onwards we go..

You did exactly the right thing shapeshifter. To anyone who wants to enter, stick your details on the wiki page If you dunno how, pm me and I'll do it for you It's all in the instructions.

Sorry Andy, Im not on the maemo-community mailing list. Please understand this is not an official maemo.org contest, it's users here trying to run one. And we're amateurs at it, it's the first time and we're feeling our way in the dark a little. As I said before many times in this thread, the organisers running the next comp will learn the mistakes of this one By the way, this is exactly the right place to ask questions, that's the whole purpose of this thread

What is the right section of the forum that contains all submissions?
Please don't point me here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=53112 it's a 30 pages thread and I don't think there are 30 pages submissions.
We're trying to keep it simple, add your submission details on the wiki page, send the details to me, and upload your code onto the repositories if possible.

Nobody wants you to write private and confidential details in an open forum. Most people will be pm'ing me directly with these details. But, as stated in the rules, we can collect the paypal email later.. it's no problem. Im not trying to harvest private data here! It's simply to send any winnings out quicker, but we can collect it later.. no sweat

You can blame me for it all if you like

It's been said before on this thread that it's going to be a vote on this forum, a thread for each category. Anyone that wishes to vote will need a maemo.org account to do so.

It's all there somewhere, but I take your point. There's no doubt things could be organised better, and I'm sorry you were not able to easily find the info you were looking for. So apologies for these failings because they land at my door. But we're trying my best.

I'm afraid you've been a little unlucky because it probably wasn't the best place to ask. But we've had 5,317 views on the wiki so far so I'd have thought a few of them could have pointed you in the right direction

Any questions please bring them on this thread and I'll do my best to answer. You're very welcome to enter the competition if you'd still like to But, please, come into the competition with a spirit of forgiveness because not everything is going to be smooth or perfect, but we're getting there

How's this for a reply? Long enough for y'all?
