My worry with facebook comps is you can literally buy 'likes' (eg bulkfans.com), and join 'voting' clubs. It's really not the fairest system, but in the end you have 5 pretty good designs to choose from, and like you say, yes, the final few a judged by real people...

You said that you didn't like the facebook voting mechanism because there would advantages for those who have a lot of facebook friends.

I commented on that before, and I still believe in it, that the best design will win. We keep asking the community and our network to vote for the favourites and I believe that the community is big enough to make up for any cheating that you might think of. Also this process is just a first selection process. The final call is with the judges.

Apart from that I certainly know that all designs deserve kudos. They are all good and I am glad that I don't have to make the call about who the final winner is.

In the end all submitted themes will be part of the SS 3.0 theme module, so no one will be forgotten.

It is now up and running again. Thanks for your patience.

I was just about to submit my theme but your facebook app apparently has hickups:

Fatal error: Uncaught GraphMethodException: Unsupported get request. thrown in /app/www/src/base_facebook.php on line 1050

Hope you'll get it up and running in no time.

Cheers,
Sara Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:55:15 +1300 Sara http://www.silverstripe.org/theme-contest-the-game-changer/#PageComment_9279 http://www.silverstripe.org/theme-contest-the-game-changer/#PageComment_9262 @Sascha; We chose facebook for the Theme Contest because facebook makes it easy to install a voting mechanism.

We defintely don't want to exclude anyone from the contest because of the fact that we are using their platform. If you want to enter a theme please send it per email to contest@silverstripe.com and I will put it up on your behalf.

I hope that helps.

One caveat I have is that you have to register at facebook to follow this contest and that's a no-go for me.
Why did you - as an open-source company - choose such a delicate platform that locks out potential participants?
Maybe I belong to a very small minority, but perhaps there are others out there that don't want to register at facebook just for the contest's sake?

I love Silverstripe and your work, but am quite interested in the reasonings behind that decision :) Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:49:56 +1300 Sascha Koehler http://www.silverstripe.org/theme-contest-the-game-changer/#PageComment_9261 http://www.silverstripe.org/theme-contest-the-game-changer/#PageComment_9257 I just added a theme but the Facebook app added it three times - can you please delete two of them?!
