Hi,
I didn't know a word about these problems. It's a shame, I could have
helped if I knew, I had the time and the internet freely available (and
with a reasonable speed).
If I can do anything, let me know, I'll be glad to help.
Cheers,
Silvia

as I said under 6 weeks submission phase makes no sense better 8 weeks.
Currently the voting phase starts automatically after the submission period
is closed. But the was a feature request of mine to give a break in
between. We had during last releases some who could not be moderated in as
they submitted last moment. Amongst them the guy, who complained several
times I have not moderated it for personal reasons (well what to say, we
had a discussion with him before and he was not denied to do another
submission, it just took him nearly 3 weeks to do it but later on he
expected to have it moderated in just hours, even ignoring that I living
with 13hrs time difference to him, so lay in the bed when he submits and I
surly have other things to do after waking up as moderating his submission)
I also said we need 2 weeks for the voting phase as we got a lot of
complaints that one week was to short. Plus one week for the packaging.
8 weeks +3days + 2 weeks +1week
so it comes down to 12 weeks on the end in minimum. You have to see that
the day for the opening of the phases is a bit important, has something to
do with the cycle news have. An example close the voting on friday is not a
good day, as it brings the anouncement of the winners to saturday, a bad
day for news. Same for opening it, its best opened on a monday where a lot
people seem to read news.
So 12 week is what we have but there is no backup time
but on the end it comes to tough 12 weeks, the only way to extend is doing
the start of the submission phase already before the version before is
released itself but if this is a good idea so far I am not convinced
It helps me to do a better

you do a good job but on the end, I always ignored your schedule, if we
look back you always wanted the package ready for Alpha, which I ignored as
not doable.
