Hi!
Since the intial post is well-known, I am going to skip (most of) it.
I remember when I joined the list about 2 years ago... The discussion

Hello Boris,
It isn't my intention to modify PUG or PAW (I like PESO better), just
a comment on the seeming lack of value/interest in the PUG -
especially since we started doing PAW.
I wasn't thinking anything about a competition of sorts, just perhaps
a way to make the PUG be of more interest
I agree with you regarding competition. Usually, I skip any
competition without a beer closely related to it :-)
One reason that hasn´t been mentioned is that few of us, if any, are
able to produce a really good photograph each week or month. The
reason why I show pictures is to get better,
I like the PUG the way it is/was - a theme per month (no need for the added
open gallery part, though). I am looking forward every time a month is

PAW is for a moment, and than gone. I sometimes go back to elder
PUG-galleries to look for pictures made with special
I've had real problems submitting things to PUG. I assume I keep

I think there are a couple of things going on. First is the problems that we
have had with komkon these past few months. Second is that it is summer for most

other interesting things) in the summer instead of sitting

What about some form of php driven feedback system on the PUG itself
