Regarding few entries in the Location and Navigation category - I think it can be caused by most of the navigation apps being quite mature and joining in the Updates category ?
Speaking of which...Well, at least I'll be definately joining Updates with modRana (and Mieru).
Welcome welcome!

This is a competition and strategy is inherent part of it. I'd say if categories are to be changed, change them now if felipe is ok with that and everyone will be happy. If some people tomorrow enter in the L&C category with high hopes and with the increased incentive of less competition (which will be justified as those applications have a certain level of difficulty) they won't be so happy to forfeit their chances.

After reading the posts I am with kojacker and qwazix. It is probably a good idea to get over with it and just reorganize the categories now. At least, at this point nobody can complain for getting lower chances to win... a lot will get better chances with this change.

I would like to enter Saera in the competition - where do I do that? The wiki page is somewhat unclear on the subject.

Thanks all for the feedback on the category change - keep it coming, mulling everything over in my head..
Nearer the closing date there'll be a proper entry mechanism, in the meantime the wiki is the place to register. So you're all good

Now we have two apps in 'Location & Navigation' category, but 'meeTfL' was already released in march 2012, so it is not eligible here. If this is just an update he should move it to 'update' category.

I noticed it myself when I clicked on the link and seen reviews from March.. I think it must have been a genuine misunderstanding of the rule. I've removed the entry for the moment and sent a pm to rash.m2kHi Rashad, thanks for registering with the coding competition
I have some bad news about meeTfl I'm afraid - because it was released before the competition started it can't go into the "Location & Navigation" category. That's a category for new applications only. However there is an updates category maybe you wanted it to go into instead? The category is called "Updates and development on existing apps" and is for applications with significant updates during the competition time frame. You can see more on the wiki.
I've removed the meeTfl entry from the table for now, please feel free to add it back for the updates category if it's eligible
Also, because you have released an application before the competition started, you wouldn't count as a beginner. Even if it's your first time with Qt/C++ backend
If you're ever unsure about anything in the wiki (http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_coding_competition_2012) please feel free to ask in the dicussion thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=83761
Thanks and best wishes,
Oh and btw something had gone a bit iffy with the table, I think the closing tag wasn't edited right and it ended up towards the bottom of the wiki page. I've fixed it back now. If it happens when you edit it and you're not sure how to fix it just leave a note here

Idea for the competition: Low power snake game for harmattan. If you make a black overlay widget like those used for video playback (direct playback to framebuffer) then whatever you print to the framebuffer shows through any black area, and also the low power screen. Thus it would be possible to make games for the lock screen like space invaders or snake, controlled with accelerometer.
I won't have time to play with this idea so anybody that finds it interesting can take it on.
