Thanks Justin, any feedback will be appreciated and an overall quartile ranking should help provide some closure to many participants. This is close to my secondary suggestion on http://groups.google.com/group/android-challenge/browse_thread/thread/42e5453bf21f8369/d7a00fd4237f6dd0#d7a00fd4237f6dd0
I think I wrote 85% of my app in the last 8 days of the challenge timeframe and I'm myself interested in knowing what the judge-scores for my app were. I'm sure that app-rankings will be even more appreciated by others who've spent several months on their app-submissions > and have decided to release each submission's quartile rank through > individual emails within the next few weeks Will it be possible to expedite the emails and send all quartile rankings within the next week ? Since you already have the scores for all ~1700 apps, I'm assuming that it wouldn't take a lot of effort to assign a quartile raking and send out the emails. Immediate feedback is likely to be more helpful to most people and it will also help folks move on more quickly.
