Poll had to be re-added, please revote, whoever it was that had voted
Some time last spring, Purno suggested holding a Monthly Scenario Contest. It died away after a while, but at one point I became interested in codeing the website for it. So I did indeed blow the dust off Apache, mySQL and my favorit codeing editor, and started to write the website for it.
I've already got a fair bit of it done. Right now, its 'hosted' on my laptop, because my own server's hard disk failed on Friday (as well as the CPU fan), so I can't give you a good link. I'll probably have to switch my laptop off for the night, but until then you can try This. (Registering and Uploading scenarios should work, but I dont recommend it yet).
I am not a artistic/designer type, so the interface & co isnt very good. But the main features _should_ work, but keep in mind its a development version still. On that note, if anyone is interested in writing some html for the site, please say something!
Okay, the reason I made this topic is that I have a couple questions that I would like your opinions on.
First of all, this is going to (doesnt yet fully) also have OpenTTD and Lomo sections, not just TTDPatch, so should I make a little pointer topic in those sections to this one?
Next, my main interest (as can be seen in the poll question), is how many people are interested to upload scenarios/serve on the jury?
So that you can make a educated descision on if you want to be on the jury, note the following:
A Juror has to Download, test and vote on every uploaded scenario.
Now, I also have other questions.
Currently, the largest one I have is about the way that the jury is selected.
The idea is that there is a waiting list for the jury, and that at the begining of every month, the five people that have waited the longest as put onto the jury (actually, they are sent a email, and if they dont confirm their existance in a certain time, they drop off the list, and the next one is chosen). The trouble with that, is that problems could follow if getting onto the jury was simply a matter of clicking a button. For instance, what would happen if someone registers five accounts, and then controls the whole jury for some month? So some sort of access control is needed, and I've come up with the following:
A user has the have gotten a certain amount of points to be able to get onto the jury Every month, each user can cast their vote on someone from the list, and the ones with the most votes are selected. Manual selection by Admin(Purno) Any other ideas?Another question I have is that should users be able to look at the objectives of the next month's (and the ones after that) competitions objectives? Or should they only get to know them at the start of the month?
Also, should a user only be allowed to upload their scenario once, or should they be able to possibly upload a newer version (all the votes on the old one are lost).
If you have any other suggestions, because post them too!

. But this will still probably take weeks to finish, mabey I can set a goal that it can be running for next months competition? I'll really have to see though, I dont have that much free time during the school days, of which I have every day until the weekend after next, the first of the next month 
. But you can view, add and delete them from the different categories.
that I could make?
