The framework on wgo was designed to handle that load. Wikis aren't. It'll do, it's better than nothing. Why did nobody wait for any real input? (remember, there was a holiday weekend in the US that just finished). This is shameful. I didn't know. I'm an Irishman living in France - how am I supposed to know about USA holidays? We have different definitions of shame.

And announcement could've been made stating the rules and criteria, but the submission mechanism could've been finalized later. That's what's happening anyway... The gnome.org people dont' seem to be too happy about what's happened either. -Yosh ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

(nobody bothers to check these things). Sorry, but at the time I said this the news was still broken and there was no sign at all that this would change anytime soon. If I had known that a fix was in the queue, we'd have used the contest framework on wgo. Actually, I asked for help in #gimp-web several times and got none. OK, people have been on holidays which is OK but I don't think that we need to blame each other now for doing things wrongly. Everyone was just trying to do their best.
