I see two possibilities of the current state of the contest: a) Judges were instructed to use the READ ME files to get the idea of the app if possible. If they know enough, they don't even open the application and give the score right on the info they receive. A very detailed README + plus a good idea might lure more judges to actually test the app to give a higher score. In my case I have a fairly detailed readme/documentation (16 pages with screenshots and everything) and I received >4 hits.
b) The second possibility is that judging is really behind schedule and they are still in the first batch of judging. However, I believe, the number 1788 contains also resubmits (?) and google is a very focused company. So I think (hope) that they are actually on schedure and are already in the second round of judging. :) Good luck to u all!, J On 2 Mai, 08:54, "Net Competency" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Our server get NO hits ... it is likely that our app can not make HTTP > connection to our server (port 80) ...
