I guess the community could do the voting themselves. Anybody willing
to quickly put together a Free Pascal based CGI voting app? ;-) Or we
can piggyback on Lazarus's Forum website which I believe has got a
voting system built-in.
OK. This is a better idea --community suggesting applications, that is.
I hope I won't get flamed for suggesting this: But, if taken in
moderation, capitalism (or merchantalism) isn't automatically bad.
So, I think, we should allow for material rewards of symbolic symbolic
nature (i.e., symbolic bountines) from suggesters --such as a book or
some such thing.
-- Will there be a restriction of licenses those applications can be
submitted under?
I don't know if GPL is sufficient (it will
limit commercial use of that code), in which case maybe a BSD style
license should be used. Any suggestions are welcome.
IANAL, but perhaps MPL could be a better solution. It does not restrict
how the code is used yet keeps the originial developer in the loop (or
mention list).
The main point of these competitions should be to educate other
developers in new features or how to accomplish some task - giving
them a nice working example to play with.
Indeed, concise sample/demo code is the best educational tool I have
known of to date.
