i-think Twenty-Two

That’s right, it is time once again for the nominations to open up for this year’s i-think Awards. Remember, anyone can nominate and anyone can nominate a new category. Just check out the i-think Awards website.

Dates aren’t final, but I have to enter something for the site to work, so that’s why you’ll see the specifics. I’m still trying to work out what time of year is best to hold the awards so that as many people as possible can attend.Last year I made some big changes to the way the site works under the bonnet, making clearing the results and setting up the new awards even easier. Now that I’ve actually done it, we should be seeing nominations opening earlier than ever before for next year’s awards.

Also, new this year will be a feature where current users will be able to invite new people to become involved and vote in the awards. Invites will be limited (although the number has not yet been determined), however you’ll get more invites again next year. I am still in the “planning” stage for this feature, but given that it is much less ambitious than previous attempts to rewrite the entire site I am much more confident that I will find the time to implement.

So what are you doing still reading this post, you should be getting your nominations in for this year’s i-think Awards.

The i-think Awards site has been updated to fix issues with escaping of quotes. This is the biggest rewrite to the core code in four years. Be sure to use the Inquiries page if you run into trouble so it can be fixed ASAP.Unfortunately the complete rewrite was not possible this year, but as always is on the cards for next year.

So come on, nominate: http://www.i-thinkawards.net/
