New ideas for a .tel competition ---------- deleted for privacy because of forum migration --------- |
Hi Maximka, thanks for your idea. We are always open to community initiatives and creative ideas. Perhaps, you could tell us more about this Project competition. Who would qualify to enter, and who would be a strong candidate? How do we distinguish between the weekly winner, which can be any domain that's well built and used for its purposes, and the project winner? Would we ask people to share some sort of business plan or overview of their project? Who wins the competition - the main .tel domain, the owner, or the project name? An example of a great .tel project you'd recommend would be helpful in understanding the details. Thanks again. |

Maximka, I've moved this discussion to a separate thread for more people to notice and share their ideas about this. |
@Maximka nice idea but I believe there should be an award for a program/initiative/site for being creative/new/successful in promoting/helping .tel TLD owners or .tel as in whole.. this encourages ppl to help or take more intiative for their work.. The present .tel of the week is enough for the .tel website award. Tel Project Award may be for those individuals/websites (person, website, script, program and other initiative)? |
I suppose that makes it more specific and gives 2 people a chance per week, but are there really enough people doing enough projects to justify twice as many .tels being highlighted per week? won't we run out at some point? Sure there are plenty of .tels but the developer pool is tiny, apart from that I suppose its worth a go to be a bit more specific in how they're categorized as not just a .tel but a project or similar of the week. Maybe if we had the ability to flag ourselves as a developer "without duplicate accounts" like some use on the forum then we could see how many are really developing, my bet only 40+ vs how many .tels? 2000? you guys sure did buy allot lol Perhaps if we had a developer round table of some sorts, we could share skills and churn through each others .tels in order to get the bulk of them updated/working faster. That could be done with a website that allows us to enter data, like a wiki then the person who owns it can choose if they want to download that data as an uploadable file via (backup and restore) obviously that conforms to .tel tos for data being public e.t.c. |
Re the wiki and more interaction for developers, there's already a platform you can use http://dev.telnic.org/trac. That has a wiki, so once you register, you can start discussions in the forum and/or create and edit wiki pages. |

that's why I mentioned "Tel Project Award" and not "Tel Project Award for the week". I think award one each month or every 3 or 6 or a yearly award ..[/size] |
