Full disclosure: I have 2 themes entered in the contest.
It appears that the current deadline might be performing itsfunction well enough \
(another surprisingly complete theme just got posted this morning). That said, I \
don't think it would be too much of a big deal to extend the deadline no further than \
to the weekend. However, if we do, it might be worthwhile holding to original the \
deadline for announcing contest winners.
We should probably try to pin down a measure of finish-ness that might help decide on \
whether it is even necessary to extend the deadline. I offer that if the theme \
covers elements of plasma with which the user is expected to interact (out of \
necessity or frequent choice - we NEED plasma use cases), then the theme is \
sufficently complete w.r.t. the deadline. I think these elements are panel, dialog, \
tooltip, widget background, clock. Obviously the more complete the better, but \
that's a judgment issue not a deadline-extension issue.
My opinion (and hope) is that the most promising themes will probably meet the above \
criteria in time for the current deadline. I have my eye on one that I really hope \
makes it. For a little perspective, before the contest was even suggested there were \
about 3 or 4 themes on kde-look. Now there are 17 themes. Granted, they don't suit \
everyone's taste, but if the contest accomplished nothing else, I'd be pretty happy \
that this much was produced in just a little over two weeks. AND they're only a GHNS \
click away!
peace and respect,
Andrew
