After looking over your reasons for voting, I'm actually confused about
the purpose of this award. I thought it was to give an award to
developers who have created high quality extensions and who have given
above average support and documentation. It shouldn't be based on
whether you like forums, Rich Text Editors, blogs or wikis (that's what
proposals are for), but on the basis of the quality of the programming,
support, number of upgrades, documentation, interoperability between
other extensions, etc. (BTW, much of this was taken from the email Elmar
originally sent out.)
In other words, your vote needs to be based on the skills and the amount
of time given by the developer(s) and not on your preference of the
extension. Since the developers have donated a lot of hard work over the
years to these projects, I think they deserve more consideration.
Or am I wrong?
