Haven't thought of that. In my small head all photos have to be reviewed.
Would this be solved if you start at a random point in the review list
rather than always at the beginning? Then every jury member would start
somewhere else, and the odds of images having zero reviews is minimized.
If we agree that all photos must be reviewed before advancing to the
next round, then there are several ways to guarantee all photos are
reviewed. The question is whether we want to enforce all photos to be
reviewed or not.
-is "rate as you go" a possibility, or would
you have to wait until the
end
of the contest?
Good question. The tool is not really designed for that, but could be
extended to support this. I'd like to hear other opininos about this.
I think if you allow feeding multiple txt files through the contest (taking
out doublures) that might work?
What would the source of the txt file be? A list of new uploads? If
so, then we could add a feature where the tool updates itself with
newly added items in a category every day.
-presentation, could you include a box where the local
designer (who
selects
the various options) explains how they work, i.e. what are the mechanics
for
a photo to get to the next round.
That's doable, and shouldn't be too hard. I would only need help with
the wording (see the other thread about design).
I think if you just present this as an option, you could have this as an
empty text box in the configuration, and let the configurer worry about the
wording (and language).
Ok.
A question of my own: what happens if an image gets
renamed/deleted. Will
the tool be able to handle that?
Haven't thought of that, good point. This is somewhat related to the
rate-as-you-go mode discussed above, so let me think about these and
I'll write back with a plan (or no plan ;))
