Great questions! Here are some answers. On Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 12:15 PM, finnk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 1. How many judges on each panel?
"Panel" can mean multiple things, so the most accurate way to phrase it is that each application will be reviewed by at least 4 judges. > 2. Will there be one or more Google staff on each panel? Not necessarily. Applications are assigned randomly to judges. Since there are many more representatives from other Alliance companies than there are from Google alone, most applications will not have a Google employee as a judge. > 3. How much time will a judge spend reviewing each application? This depends on the judge. We expect judges to spend as much time reviewing each app as it takes to satisfy themselves that they understand it well enough to fairly score it. > 4. Will there be more than one test session? (for the first phase) I am not sure what you mean by a "test session", but each judge evaluates the application once, and scores it based on that experience. > 5. Do the judges collaborate in scoring? Definitely not. Each judge does his or her reviews alone, and we will aggregate their scores once all reviews are in. > 6. Are judges allowed to contact a contestant? I don't know if there's a specific prohibition against it, but I expect not. The judges judge whatever .apk file was submitted, in a clean emulator. It's reviewed on its merits, meaning that they review it based on whatever appears in front of them when they start the app, good or bad. - Dan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Challenge" group.
