Luckily, I'm not in charge of documentation, that is Nat, Patrick and Steve.
I'm only in charge of the Web site (with Brian Kotek), proofreading and editing (with Brian Kotek) and fusedocs. And yes, I'll be spending a great deal of time far in excess of 30 hours doing this. But that is my choice and I do it freely. No one is requiring anyone to enter. But we figured that there are people who want to contribute and think they don't have any applicable skills (and everyone does have something they can contribute if they want to) and so came up with the contest idea. I hope though that people do contribute in whatever ways they feel comfortable. Fusebox has been good for my career, and I want to give something back to the community, that's why I do it. As Sean said, all designs will be up on the wiki (thumbnailed and clickable to larger images), if someone likes a design there that isn't ultimately chosen for the website, they will be able to contact the designer.

Think Sandra's not going to be investing more than 30 hours in organizing the new site or the new documentation? Everybody involved in this (and most) projects are going to invest a significant amount of time. That's why I said previously that I -suspect- that those who are entering aren't doing so with the explicit intent of trying to win a prize. They're doing so as a way to contribute. The prize is just a nice little bonus -if- it happens. But nobody's twisting anybody's arm. This isn't some starving designer who's about to lose his house and family because he's out of work being taken advantage of by a design firm.
