Here’s my entry. The icons in the paw represent some of the updates. Plugins, translations, accessibility, various tweaks, and speed.

feedthegood,

Welcome to the banner image contest! I’ve updated my little gallery site to include yours and all the others up to now.

One nudge I’d make is that the wheelchair image for accessibility may be a bit confusing for a ARIA screen-reading features, since being in a wheelchair has little in common with needing a screen-reader. There are some icons out there that are more specific to audio access for vision-impaired and blind web users. I’m not sure what’s best, but for example: Screen Reader Icon - Free PNG & SVG 1702967 - Noun Project

One other consideration that people have occasionally raised is the size of the image. Though it’s just one image, if that images weighs in at 130KB – compared to most banners which have been around 18-30KB, this means proportionately much more demand on servers and web traffic and load times.

Cheers, and looking forward to more!

Thanks! I changed the icons (found open source set) and compressed the image to 33kb.

I just had a thought, Being from Australia I thought about making a Preferential voting system in tiddlywiki, the question is how to accept a vote tiddler from each user.

For example with a randomly ordered list of all the entries you do one of the following;

  • Mark each up to any number with 1, 2, 3 …
  • Use list draggable to manually order the list in your preferred order.

Ideally we use a mechanism like unique discourse name to limit votes to one

Then provide a method to determine the winner from all preferences given.

  • Lets say there are 5 entries, the 1st preference gets 5 points, the last preference gets 0 points

Why;

  • If few vote for your first preference your second preference influences the next likely.
  • However there are other maths behind the preferential voting needed.

May I please ask. Has anybody ever been able to see the images on Tiddlywiki.com? I haven’t!

@Birthe: not by following the instructions in @Springer 's (excellent and very appreciated) demo site.
D&Dropping the mockups to tiddlywiki.com create broken-link [img[...]] tiddlers.

Ah! I understand what to fix. Should be clear within 5 minutes.

Birthe,

Thanks for the nudge! I had begun importing tiddler images separately from the tiddler body holding the entry and field contents (because it was slightly more convenient to update an edited image without reconstructing its entry metadata). But this meant that the entry tiddlers would drag over without their image files. I’ve just fixed each entry (restoring to single image-tiddler form, with fields input directly on the image tiddler).

Drag-&-drop to tiddlywiki.com works again. I have also added (in the how-to) that you can just drag over the tag pill for v5.2.3 to import all of them at once, making the whole set visible in the HelloThere thumbnail overview, if you like.

Please do let me know whether there’s anything else about the gallery that could use updating.

If we have 10 or fewer candidate images, and 100 or fewer voters, it looks like we could use this online ranked-choice voting tool for free:

The last two banner competitions both garnered around 200 votes, so I suspect that we may have already outgrown it.

But perhaps there is a Discourse feature or plugin that achieves something similar? Perhaps @pmario or @boris could help point us in the right direction.

#28

Yep, there are polls that can be used for voting built into the forum.

Here’s an example which I’ve set to:

  • be able to vote for 2 choices
  • not view the results until you vote
  • shows a bar chart after voting
Banner Voting

0 voters

There are a few other settings, and without ranked voting, mostly I’d say give 1 point to your top 2 or 3.

We can edit the top post in this thread to insert a banner – just let me know how you’d like it configured

Edit: Experimenting with embedding the images directly, looks like it works?

Still, I am likely to eventually build this in tiddlywiki and maintain maximum control, with my own algorithms :nerd_face: A short exploration of this though, exposes the complexity of different voting methods which is “a science in its own right”.

here’s an (quick and rough :sweat_smile: ) update,
thanks to Mohammad for the font indication,
and I tested with the https://tw-logo-contest.tiddlyhost.com/
To preview your own artwork here... so thanks also to Springer :nerd_face:, hope you liked it.
