It's almost time for the 2011 LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Awards. Yes, we're starting a little earlier this year, although I do not anticipate the polls being open for a few weeks. Here is the list of proposed categories for this year. Keep in mind that while we understand that some categories end up containing projects that might not be directly comparable, it's simply not feasible to have enough categories to be all encompassing. If you have suggestions on additions, subtractions or modifications, let us know. I'll be finalizing the list and posting the polls based on feedback from this thread.

Thanks!

Looks good to me.
Personally, I'd add a tiling window manager category, but I realise this would be way too narrow and would just reflect my personal interest

Looking forward to the opening of the polls.

I'm always a bit unsure over whether we need the window manager / desktop split, and not just "GUI". The distinction is not always obvious. What does one call Enlightenment? ROX?

IMHO the line is not blurred at all - Desktop Environment and Window Manager both have very specific meanings. Enlightenment is a Window Manager while ROX is a Desktop Environment.

Come on, putting eg. KDE together with i3wm would be like comparing cars to roller-blades Both are used to move from one place to another using wheels - but that's where the similarities end.

I Know I'm new here But I Have an Idea You Could Also add a

" Favorite Admin / Contributor / Poster / Member(s) " & Etc Category

It looks like the File Manager and Revision Control System polls are enabled. I didn't vote to see, but I could select the radio button.

Thanks for the heads up, I've ensured all polls are now indeed closed and verified that no votes were cast.

Maybe I just missed it, but I didn't see e-mail client on the list.

It was dropped last year due to lack of interest/participation and a general shift toward web-based and mobile email.

Will this be just a poll (choose one) for most popular, or a ranking? Pick your #1, #2, #3, etc. ??

I'd prefer the latter as there are some that rock, and some (vmUnaware), that suck, and I'd like to comment, oops, just did

As with all past MCA's, you just choose one. Preferential voting is something that has been discussed in the past and while it's not something I'd rule out, we have no specific plans to implement it at this time.
