: Yeah, that sounds like a better idea. i'll update the wiki. I've made "final" updates to the process on the wiki i'll do a big announce to solr-user, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and on the Solr home page tomorow unless anyone objects soon. -Hoss

: Perhaps pushing the date to the 20th, and finishing on Thanksgiving? Yeah, that sounds like a better idea. i'll update the wiki. : Using JIRA is good because it takes care of all the IP issues and is : already there to use, but not so good because the thumbnails look : crapy and people who submit items can not delete their own.

I just double checked ... in spite of what the Manage Attachments page in Jira says, anyone can delete a file they themselves attached (i was pretty sure because we've had problems in the past with people removing patches because they have new approaches and the old ones get lost forever) The thumbnail issue is admittedly anoying. : Rather then voting directly off the JIRA page -- When the submissions : are "closed", I suggest we build a special page for the contest and : only put 'final drafts' on that. This page will be passed by the that makes sense -- it will help eliminate the possibility of people adding new attachments in the middle of voting as well. but as i said: if people want to withdraw a logo they can take care of that via Jira before the deadline. -Hoss

I don't think this was sent either :( -- Forwarded message -- From: Ryan McKinley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 2:51 PM Subject: Re: LogoContest Process & Timeline ... was: Re: [Solr Wiki] Update of "LogoContest" by HossMan To: solr-dev@lucene.apache.org Overall looks good. Thanks Hoss. Perhaps pushing the date to the 20th, and finishing on Thanksgiving? Using JIRA is good because it takes care of all the IP issues and is already there to use, but not so good because the thumbnails look crapy and people who submit items can not delete their own. It also falls into the problem of voting on 5 version of the same logo. Rather then voting directly off the JIRA page -- When the submissions are "closed", I suggest we build a special page for the contest and only put 'final drafts' on that. This page will be passed by the solr-user@ list before official voting begins. I'll volunteer to build this page. Voting would still happen with the method you suggest. ryan On Sep 30, 2008, at 2:22 PM, Chris Hostetter wrote: > > : Ok, based on what little feedback I've gotten from the PRC this is about > : as good as I can come up with at this point.
