I can’t wait to see the winning designs! Any idea when the best design will get built? I’m guessing that help will be needed for that so please let me know if you need a hand. I’d be happy to help on the HTML/CSS end. :)

Keep up the great work! I am happy to wait for the contest results. For what I have been paying, B&A is great. Rah, rah, rah!

BTW you rotten anonymous commenter, what we need more than anything is a VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR who doesn’t flake on us. We get volunteers, but the current staff is so badly in the weeds they don’t even have time to vett volunteers. SO if you are willing to help us help ourselves, we would welcome it! It’s not sexy but it is needed.

We have managed to corral the judges, and are currently tabulating the results. the winners will be posted NEXT ISSUE. Thank everyone for entering, and all submissions will be posted for the edification fo the community.

Its November now….. any news on the submissions, or at least a list of who entered so we could see them, while the judges decide?

thanks.

It’s hard to accept the “all volunteer organization that will make paying jobs take precedance” reason for not updating. It doesn’t give the users a feeling of longevity, much like A List Apart.

Do you not have assistants who can help up? Do you not have a chain of command on getting things completed? Do you not have a huge readership community that would be happy to volunteer their time?

This site may end up like a majority of sites out there. Very good intentions but forgotten when other things came up.

Decentralize the process a little more. Then we don’t have to worry about great resource sites becoming dated and ignored.

What happened to the AIFIA community helping?

Just curious…but it seems that there’ve been no new articles for some time now. Just curious, not critical.

will all submissions get published here on b&a? or will you just show us the winner?
perhaps somebody could meanwhile collect and publish all entries on her/his blog…i’d do so, at least, if i had one :-)
cheers.

Could you all give us some user feedback on the winners of this contest. It’s mid-October.

Thanks,

speaking of t-shirts. I’d love to have a Polar Bear (Book) tee shirt… :-)

And what goodies do judges receive?

I could use a new B&A tee shirt.
