Roguehorse. "just doing some wiki stuff Marcus threw at me. He asked if I could go through the Flickr page and pick out some items that meet requirements for wallpaper and create a wiki page with them for a secondary wallpaper inclusion. I told Marcus I could tend to it maybe tomorrow night or Monday." <Roguehorse> Andy, can you email me that voting idea you had with the points layout? Or send me the link to where the archive is from the mailing list? <anditosan> Roguehorse: I had the idea of having a committee that could chose 10 images from the many that there are on flickr. The voters would be anyone who is parto of the artwork team. We would have 10 points to distribute between the images people liked the most <mfoxdogg> Roguehorse, so you intend to use that method? <Roguehorse> Well, Marcus asked me to start a wiki on Wallpaper Contest Rules and I wanted to include hopw the voting structure works and thus far Andy is the only one to come up with something that worked. <Roguehorse> Then I think we should discuss something we can all agree on.
