I can understand your frustration. I think the ultimate problem is that we
didn't plan for a scenario in which none of the entries were liked by
the general community, so that led to stagnation.

Also, just to remind you, the original organizer of the project had a couple
months of illness; and the fact that we were so behind on the 3.0 release
didn't help either.

Roberto, would you and the other two contestants be satisfied with each
getting 1/3 of the award money, ie, splitting it three ways?

Cheers,
