Journal FortKnox's Journal: Slashdot Photo Contest Poll [Updated] 41
OK, I got a ton of pics (still waiting on Em), but haven't had time to really do anything I want out of the contest (like a nice system for voting and stuff). So, I ask you all what you want:
A.) I just get the pics up (like the old contest, perhaps whipping up some photo gallery or something), and do voting in the JE like the old contest.
B.) Wait until I have time to put together my idea of a site (could be done by the weekend, but I'm out of town during the weekend, so I can't work over the weekend. Therefore, it'll be a week, maybe longer).
C.) You're idea here.
Updated: D.) SW's idea. Put up the pictures, and let you check them out while I work on the system in the background. Gives you time to think them out.

Hack it up forget all this JSP crap, forget planning... just hack something up in Perl, PHP or ASP. who cares about performance or stability.
Re:B) (Score:1)
However, considering the amount of pictures FortKnox got, it might be wise to care at least a big about performance and stability.

We could take an existing gallery package, one that is not bloated: SPGM [sourceforge.net]
And add our voting funtionality.
The problem with this is that we can not associate slashdot accounts with who voted what, maybe taco would help us out by letting us authenticate against the /. user database? hmm not likely but worth a try.

Or if you want to keep is simple: use the email address together with the slashdot UID. Not perfect, but I don't know your email address, so it will be pretty hard to impersonate you

Yes!!! Must have pictures now!
I just wish I could participate....too many trolls looking for me, I'm sure. Maybe if I move far away, use a different slashdot account, and post from a secret location...

Yeah, I think we're doing something more along the lines of "guessing". But it won't be hard to guess you... unless there's another female firebreathing dragon in the FK

What is the rush? (Score:2)
Take your time to make it fun, educational, and a bit scary.
Fun = a cool app you & volunteers get to write
educational = a cool app you & volunteers get to write (source code for the rest of us?)
scary = people have to find out what I look like (well actually what I looked like 2 years ago)

I vote for B...and I'll help (Score:2)
Do you have your schema set yet? If so, post it.
I propose putting up the pictures first, letting everyone vote, then displaying the results after everyone gets a shot (or gets bored, whichever comes first <g>).

so i agree with SW about getting pics up early, but i say there should be an actual system for voting. JtS is right about comments getting too big and page load times growing exponentially.
if it holds off until this weekend, i promise i'll send at least one pic in. really, i mean it this time.
