I disagree. It should be a user community decision primarily. Of course, the core developers belong to the user community. > If this all is to complicated from now on and you guys want a splash > screen fast, I'm very fine with your solution Dave.

One of the advantages of the panel system is that a few people can be conscientious and look at all the entries, whereas a larger pool of people is more likely to pick their favourites froml the first 100 or 150 splashes, and ignore the last 300, which would be a shame, since there are some really nice ones down there. Another consideration is that a panel can ignore splashes that we can't ship for one reason or another (copyright material, other people's trademarks, etc) and can also use agreed guidelines (no photos, for example) whereas that's harder for a much larger collective. In either case, we need some kind of resolution on this today or we run into the other thing I was worried about, which is time. I suggest that - Mukund wipes the existing votes - We give people on the mailing lists until Thursday to vote - Please try to avoid getting mukund's page slashdotted - On Thursday evening, if the top choice is not invalid for some reason, we're done. If it is, we go onto second choice. Etc. Is there any way to close the contest page now and not have any more entries until we have chosen a winner?
