Bas, Yes. We can skip the first stage (and kind of "approve" all of them for the 2nd stage). I hope we can give everyone to test the version later tonight or tomorrow. Itzik On Sun, Sep 30, 2012 at 6:52 PM, Bas vb <bas_v_b(a)hotmail.com> wrote:

Both, please send it to me in order to start the pre-jury selection. @Charles: I asked already to upload Swiss photos.

Jason: if I click on Update decisions, it doesn't save anything. That means if I click then on Show my reviewed images, there are none. Lodewijk 2012/10/1 Racso &lt;racso(a)colombia.com&gt;

In the filtering one, you just remove pictures, and that's it (when you save, you can see the "remaining images" number (near the top-right corner) decrease. In the judging one, the one where you put stars, you can indeed check your reviewed images. At least it works that way for me. 2012/9/30 Ynhockey &lt;ynhockey(a)gmail.com&gt; (It's Racso, not Rasco [?]) 1280x800. The fact is that I think it would be nice if the number of images-per-row could be selectable, as each judge would be able to optimize its own experience (if I got a huge screen, well, I can pick 5 images per row and do it faster). Still, I will ask our local judges for their screen resolutions right now. Maybe I have a just-to-small screen ;)

We are preforming updates to the system at the moment. Please refrain from submitting issues via E-Mail. ~Jason On Sun, Sep 30, 2012 at 6:32 PM, Jason Spriggs &lt;jason(a)jasonspriggs.com&gt;wrote;wrote: -- *Thank you for contacting Jason Spriggs.*

Oscar: Regarding thumbnail size: it was originally supposed to be modifiable per country but not it's only modifiable globally. Jason made it better for smaller screens per your request. However, eventually I'd like it to be per-country again, but it's probably not urgent at the moment (let me know if it is ;) ). Regarding ease of use: I'm sure that some things can be done for ease of use, but when making the first level what I had in mind is that it should be easy to change your mind. The idea is, once you accept or reject an image, you can't change your mind (unless you have direct DB access). So the 'update' button was added in the first place to avoid a situation where people would accept/reject images by accident. What Israel will do (and from what I understand, other countries did the same last year), is to get a team of dedicated and trustworthy organizers to do the filtering stage. I am of course open to ideas about the general workings of this stage, although rewriting the whole thing is probably not the best thing to do since you need to be start using it right away. Lodewijk: Not sure if this is what you're referring to, there's one bug which sometimes happens and I can't reproduce that when you click update apparently nothing happens, but in fact the decisions are updated correctly. If you have a minute and want to help me, please look at the console in Firebug/Dragonfly/Chrome's debugging tool and tell me what it says (in Chrome you may need to enable logging XHR).

Considering many countries have thousands or tens of thousands of pictures, browsing them will take a while, so 12 thumbnails per page as in the demo is low, the filtering will take a long while. Here are some usability suggestions: - at first it was un-intuitive for me to discover the "update decisions" button. now that i discovered it, i know what to do, but a bit of scrolling is still needed; - also I have to acknowledge I was confused at first with the position of the "accept" and "reject" icons, a few times I clicked on the wrong ones, I expected them to be below the pictures but they were at the top; - the filtering is going to be used my more people at the same time. One user will browse the images, accept some, reject some but also defer some, leaving the decision for others. A faster way to navigate the images is needed, perhaps in the footer in addition to "<< Start || < Previous || Next >" some way to jump to "page N". For the second stage, image rating, I only saw a screenshot so far so for now I have a single request: a more fine-grained noting system. When the jury is small, only 1-5 stars is to little and will produce a lot of collisions, multiple image with the same score. Last year in my country we had every member of the jury give an image 3 scores from 1 to 10 for different criteria: artistic quality, technical quality and usefulness for Wikipedia and made a pondered sum (50%, 30%, 20%) for a final note for each person. While this may be overkill for the global competition and juries in every country, moving to 1-5 stars is way too little. I will think a bit more about how comfortable a 1-10 rating per image is. Thanks. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com

Not yet; once we start next years development we plan to make it open source if I recall correctly. ~Jason On Mon, Oct 1, 2012 at 7:48 AM, Platonides &lt;platonides(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: -- *Thank you for contacting Jason Spriggs. *

Hi Jason, could you set up one for the international jury too? I only want the star level for 5 users (and myself as admin). I would like to be able to feed in a list of url's/file names either myself or through your help. Thanks! Lodewijk 2012/10/8 maarten deneckere &lt;maartendeneckere(a)gmail.com&gt;
