Judging the splash contest

Hi all,

So thanks to yosh (and carol for having done the contest section of the site in the first place) we now have the splash contest back on track.

The next step is to actually judge the contest and pickj the 2.2 splash screen.

There are 3 ways we can go about that.

1) Someone makes a unilateral decision and commits one of the entries.
2) A small (2 or 3) group of GIMP people decide among themselves who wins.
3) A larger group (the GIMP user list, more or less) judges the contest by sending in their favourite, and the one with the most votes gets it.

I'd like to do the third one, but we don't have a voting framework and I think that it would take too long. I prefer the second method.

So could people who are interested in judging the splash contest (and having an entry should probably make you inelligible) contact me, and I will put 3 or 4 of you in contact with each other? That way, you can just let me know who won next Monday, and everyone is happy.

Obviously, if 50 people say they are interested, I will just pick 4 people by some arbitrary method.

Are there any people who disagree with doing it that way?

Cheers, Dave.

I'd like to add:

4) A small group preselects a few (3, 5, 10, ?) images from the submissions, and a larger group votes for them like in option 3).

Just my 2p.

I would just like to point out that the reason I would prefer to avoid #3 (and for the same reason #4) is time and infrastructure. We don't have any technical infrastructure for counting votes, and say 4 people come up with 10 candidates, we could be voting for days before we get a result, when we all want the 2.2 release as quickly as possible - and that could be as soon as the end of next week.

Cheers,
Dave.

I'd like to be able to vote on the entries too but still leave it to the gimp developers (ie Sven) to decide from the Top 5 or Top 3.
