do you know what's the current state of our design contest venture?
Is there anything we can do? I could spend a bit of time helping.

After we discuss the open topic here I'll update the wiki page / and create a Bugzilla thread for the entries. When the wiki page is finished, I suggest to move it over to the lenya website to give the contest more attention.

+1

That's the text so far:
http://wiki.apache.org/lenya/DocuPublicationRedesignContestDraft


I suggest the following changes / additions

How to Enter
-----------------
All entries must be attached to a bugzilla-thread; we should inform the users on the wiki page that the design will be under ASF-licence terms.

I would leave out the 330 x 220px samples - we can always create these.

Makes sense, the entry barrier should be as low as possible.

The 1024 x 768px layouts are more important.
Those who decide to use the lenya docu zip and write css code should do a screenshot of the result in 1024 x 768px - so we can make a judgement based on the design alone.

+1

[…]

Voting :
---------
The voting takes place on the user mailing list.

I suggest a star-system:

10 stars for committers
8  stars for persons with an apache.org email
6 stars for regular user/dev ml-posters (definition of ml posters as described by solprovider)

Hmm, why are ASF committers from other projects higher valued than regular Lenya contributors? IMO the merit in the Lenya project should have a higher value …

4  stars for everybody else

[…]

Any entry can be vetoed by two -1 comming from committers
Committers participating in the contest loose their right to veto

I see your point, but this is a tricky situation. What if a committer who participates in the contest has reasonable objections against an entry (usability etc.)?

Cancellation of the contest
------------------------------------
- less than 4(?) entries
- obvious misuse

+1 (maybe 3 entries would be sufficient?)


Announcement
---------------------
I will do a search for appropriate blogs / design websites to promote the contest a bit

Thanks! I'll be happy to do the same, maybe we have to coordinate this a bit.

Prices
--------
Meritocracy. - or maybe a sponsored price could still be nice; I'm somewhat undecided about that

I don't think we need a price. People should have other motivations to participate.

Thanks for your status report!
