As a side note to this, do you feel more discussion occurs on the list rather than the wiki? I find the format of a wiki difficult to maintain the back and forth discussion that comes from a straight forum or a thread of email. As such, I rarely log into the wiki but participate in all the discussion on the list. Am I an anomaly?

Hi, folks;
I am just pinging the list to remind folks that there are (somewhat
stalled) discussions on the wiki about the following proposed changes to
the Icehouse Game Design Competition (IGDC) Procedures:
* Design Restriction: by mechanic, product, theme, or none (for Winter
only; will re-poll for future IGDCs)
http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:Icehouse_Game_Design_Competition#Next_Competition_Design-Restricted.3F
** Currently, this discussion is wide open, with a variety of opinions
to be narrowed down into a poll.
* Designers Judging: rank their own games freely, automatically in first
place, or not at all (all IGDCs)
http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:Icehouse_Game_Design_Competition#Designers.27_Games_on_Designers.27_Ballots.3F
** Currently, this has boiled down to a straight poll; place your vote!
* Contest Timing: Summer and Winter, exact dates up for (minor) debate
http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:Icehouse_Game_Design_Competition#Next_Contest_Timing
* Scheduling judging for the winter and summer seasons has advantages
and disadvantages, but it seems the closest to ideal. We're just
noodling with permanent Submission Deadline dates--nit picking,
basically. :)
It's October 4th (Yay, Sputnik!) and so I'd like to close polling and
finalize rules by, say, October 22th. That will allow approximately two
months for design and test and submit--critical, if we decide to
restrict design in some manner.
Thanks for reading, thanks doubly for voting, thanks triply for
participating in the IGDCs!

Winter IGDC Coordinator
