It should be on www.gimp.org. It seems that few people learned from the mistakes of the last contest. Once again, it is slashdotted. The framework on wgo was designed to handle that load. Wikis aren't. Why did nobody wait for any real input? (remember, there was a holiday weekend in the US that just finished). This is shameful. -Yosh ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

The news system hasn't been resurrected for several months so I am pretty sure that the contest section has a similar unsolveable problem.

If this could be done today, that would be a great solution (imho). Is there anyone who understands the contest bits in CVS with the time to reactivate this today?

Hi, I had taken down your news entry about the splash this afternoon but in the meantime I have put the news about the splash contest back up on gimp.org. But so far it doesn't include any info on how to submit the entries. I've also created a page for the contest. More info can be added here then: http://www.gimp.org/about/splash/contest/index.html I would suggest that we use the GIMP Wiki as the way to submit entries. Does our Wiki allow images to be uploaded? If so, we just need to setup a page with a template entry as an example and people can add their submissions themselves. A few people should have an eye on the page then to make sure that everyone's playing fair but I don't think that will become a problem. Does that make any sense?
