How about we aim to have the rules ironed out and posted early next week?
As for the end time, we should a month to build.  We can cut it off before
Christmas to allow time for voting afterward, or we can cut it off around
the end of the year to allow people to build through their winter breaks.
I'd prefer the latter, but I'm not too worried either way.

I like that.

For categories, how about something along the lines of:
1: Small Ships (ie Invader)
2: Bigger Ships (ie Renegade)
3: Small Ground Vehicles (ie Alienator)
4: Bigger Ground Vehicles (ie Battrax)
5: Bases (ie Message Intercept)

I actually like general categories like these better than those very
specific ones of the last contest. Weren't there about a dozen or so
different categories last year?

Obviously, if we went with these categories then we'd have to define
"small".  And we need to decide whether there is an upper size limit.  Last
year we had a maximum size at around 1000 pieces.  This was because the
point of the contest was to design something that *could have been a set*
and Lego didn't make sets that big back then.

I say at least 20 pieces, no more than 600. 1000 is huge today, in the
Blacktron era it would have been absolutely massive. And the categories
should be divided by number of pieces somehow.

So far we appear to have Jude volunteering to coordinate voting and Tom
volunteering for contest maintenance.  I'm still willing to help out with
rules and such.  On the other hand, I'm a busy guy and I'd quite happily
drop out.

I don't want to be an administrator, because I want to build! :D I was
excluded from the first contest because I don't have any Classic Space
minifigs, so I am itching to enter something.
