First of all, I hope I'm not doing the wrong thing by replying here.
Second of all, here's my thoughts:

Idea submittal and voting have come to a slow crawl or stopped altogether so we'll just say its time to chose the final three projects.
My thoughts exactly.

Universal Gui LibrarY (UGLY)
Please, not UGLY! That's the opposite of what we want! How about SUIT - SmartUI Toolkit.
Also, if we do a UI Library first, then it's easy to start out simple - do it one control at a time . We can stop any place along the way.

I have an idea too... later.

Project leaders and team members will then need to define the scope and timeline for the project. A design document would be very nice. Anyone have a nice Design Doc template?
I have some ideas and questions - where shall we discuss it?
GOOD JOB, JASON!

No, you're fine. I just don't want submessages clogging up the voting area.

Right here if you like.

UGLY is just the opposite of what we want - we want something that looks nice. Would you buy a toolkit that's called "UGLY"??? I think we should have a vote on this one.

Ummm....I thought this was going to be a CP thing...and thus free.  Besides, we're all coders...we all have a sense of humor. If we see a GUI toolkit that's called UGLY, we're gonna take a look at it just to see what it's like anyway.

What if we add some letter so it is easier to find with Google?
UGHLY or
UUGLY or
UUGLI
"UUGLY graphics" gives only two hits on google. We could monitor how much it is used, just by a simple search.

But that doesn't have the same effect as UGLY.
BTW, what's up with your sig? I mean, what does *c.* represent? I saw that post...and there was nothing bad with the words that Paul used.

I reckon it is because, as I am wont to blather on and on, the original did not fit in the 500 character limit of signatures. So he cut out the un-needed bits.
Also "Anna waving her *c*" does sound rather nasty.

You are right on both topics. *c.* is only there because I had to shorten it down to fit into 500 chars.
But we could do some test voting on that name, just to get some experience on how it works.

I hope this forum is open for discussions once the voting is over? I mean like a normal message board where you can start threads at the top. Every time I press "Next" in this forum, it takes many minutes before I see the next page.

I haven't closed it to other discussions, it just doesn't get used often.

What happened to your suggestion for a bioinformatics project? I was really looking forward to that being on the list.

There are not enough people here interested in biology, sorry. We had one Gene Detection and one Medical visualization idea. To get a project going we need at least 10 very interested people.

Hmmm, why 10?

I was afraid you would ask that.
First of all, I like it when things happen. You think about something and post a message and get fast feedback. If we are ten people, there is always somebody online that you can talk to.
If you have a project with 5 people and one drops out in the middle of the project it is a catastrophe. Etc..
But stay tuned here at CP, post some messages and soon we will be enough people to start something.

I was going to put my WTL Porting Project Idea into the vote but I don't think that is what you meant. I also don't think it will be one of the top three either.

No, I have only put in the top 10. Your idea was voted a 2.8 which meant it was probably in the top 15.
Keep your idea handy though, since eventually Chris is going to allow anyone to make an actual project rather than an article. Can't say how long thats going to be though.
