As for the status of Montage requests: I suggest that
you start a
separate thread on that, and would like to leave this to the
maintainers to respond to.
I am asking because we fail to get any response at
github since more
than a month, and I would like to reach also those members of the
international team who are not checking github regularly. Before we
export something from Montage, we should make sure that it does not fail
upon import.

As for publishing the settings: I was imagining some kind of log-style
publication, not a near write-up. This won't be pretty, but it will
allow people to figure out how it worked out in practice. If we follow
a logical naming convention, people should be able to puzzle it
together. Ideally, the national organizers also publish their process
on the website, but this log would be a way to verify that. But I
accept your note that we may need to add a context explaining that
more process may happen before/after this tool is used.

Dear Lodewijk,
We also intend to publish by default the
settings of the montage
jury tool, and the number of photos in each round that the
national competitions have used. We're debating whether there
should be an opt-out for this year.
This is unrealistic, because jury
process may involve several
campaigns that are later merged together (in Russia, we do it all
the time in order to meet your submission deadline). Moreover,
some of the photos can be accepted for the next round within
Montage but excluded later on if we find that they do not depict
cultural heritage. The end result is that any number you take from
Montage will not match the number of photos that we publish (e.g.,
as a short-list). This will only lead to confusion and won't be of
any use for anyone.
Since you mentioned Montage, let me also ask when two important
pull requests, which were done by one of our team members, are
going to be merged into the code:
https://github.com/hatnote/montage/pull/169
https://github.com/hatnote/montage/pull/175
These are really, really important fixes. Without them I would
have a problem creating new Montage campaigns in October.
Sincerely,
Alexander
