Sponsoring a prize at the Weblog tools collection competition
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Update: I may enter after all, so I’ve asked Mark to pull the prize for the time being so their isn’t a conflict of interest. If the plugin idea I have has legs, then I’ll post more details here after the weekend.
As I’m not entering this year, I thought that I would stick my grubby mit in my pocket and at least donate a prize to the Weblogtoolscollection.com Plugin competition.
As I can’t quite match the level of Matt or Automattic, I have decided to take a different approach.
I am offering a 2Gb iPod Shuffle to the plugin with the most intuitive, attractive or well thought-through administration panel or system.
I personally feel that the administration side of a system or plugin is just as (if not more) important as it’s “public” face. It is, after all, what the owner and main user of the blog will see and use day in and out.
Let’s see if it makes anyone come up with some ingenious solutions to an administration interface…

Interesting angle - perhaps I should release my telepathic admin control plugin?
I hope you’re still beavering away on StayPress - if you need another beta-tester, let me know.

@WordSkill: That would be cool
but I dread to think what it would start doing if I used it 
Still beavering at StayPress, every now and then I need to do these little side projects to keep myself sane (or when I come up against a decision that doesn’t have an obvious solution).

Oops, I never considered potential conflict of interest (more accurately, I discounted it). I sponsored initially, then subsequently decided to enter a small plugin of my own (not that it will win lol).
Good luck with your entry if you decide to run with it.
