It was mentioned that it might be best to do this on the forums, with an additional notification sent to the list... perhaps in the main "contest" forum there could be a link to your web app titled "Submit Contest Idea" where users can submit ideas. The web app could also be in charge of then auto-posting (randomly or otherwise) a new contest thread monthly. Any thoughts?<br>

I'm right up for that. Although truth be told I'd almost certainly miss the theme/challenge on the forum if it wasn't posted on the list. Not too spammy, really. Could be that possible themes are submitted by users? Just I'm working on a ruby/pd patch to get a clean feed of CPU usage in linux, could be a starting point (I.E. where would people take this real-time data collection).<br>
<br>I digress, would be right up for this... If I can put some time asside, would folks like me to put together a web app to manage, say, a monthly theme, patches, comments on submissions and suggestions? <br><br>Andrew<br>

I personally check the lists at least once a day and hardly ever check the forums... and if it will be somewhere between weekly-monthly it wouldn't be flooding the list much.<br>

+1. I think the forum is a good place for it, too. Newbies seem to<br>
gravitate toward (or at least participate more) to the forum. I think<br>
this would be a great way to help new users develop some chops.<br>

if there is interest in this, i'd suggest the pd forum as a good place to<br>
host it.<br>
<br>
i'll set it up if a few more people agree it will be a good idea. not every<br>
week though..every now and then should be fine.<br>
<br>
i think it might be cool, not really as a 'competition', but more as a way<br>
to focus and see how other people approach something. The "compressed/chip<br>
patch" thread we have going now is a great example. I have had a lot of fun<br>
with that.<br>

Hello list,<br>
<br>
I'd always thought it'd be fun if there was a patch contest similar to the<br>
Fark Photoshop contest threads. Is there already something similar happening<br>
in the Pd community? If not, how easily could this be integrated (if there<br>
is enough interest) and how? Maybe it could be a sublist, like [ot] or<br>
[pd-announce]... or just a specific tag in the subject line. It wouldn't<br>
have to include the voting aspect that Fark has and it could change<br>
theme/concept once a week. Is there any interest in this?<br>
