Yeah I definitively think he should be there if there are member awards.

Best TI-83+ series program

Best TI-68K series program

Best TI-Nspire program

Best pure-TI-BASIC program


I totally agree with this. But NSpire, we include ndless and ti.os?

TI-Nspire OS would fall under pure TI-BASIC as a whole. To be honest, though, with OS 2.1 BASIC, I doubt any Nspire BASIC game will ever get featured. They would need actual graphics (even if just ASCII art) to be eligible.

Voted 2, basically like how ticalc.org is setup.

And if there's a year where suddently there are TI-86 programs coming out, for example, or Casio Prizm stuff, then we can add those for that year, like ticalc.org does.

Also what do we do about the computer category? There are generally fewer utilties coming out every year and sometimes it's one linux and one Windows program. Such survey generally ends up into a Windows vs Linux survey rather than about the programs, because Linux users can't try the Windows program or vice-versa.

Also, remember: Omnimaga is game and programming oriented: such award would only be for programming tools, linking softwares, sprite tools, shells/kernels, OSes, games and packs of routines. If we do a math/science/misc category, it would be all calc models merged in one poll.

Next year, unless a staff volunteers for this year. I think it needs a bit more planning regardless, though, because we would need to add new site sections for that and I already have other stuff to add on the site too such as a page for cage matches.

:O Those sound like good arguments!

I guess you're right

Second is winning 6-4.  I like the second option, but with no computer poll, I had to choose the 3rd.

Ticalc got poty again, if they have many categories, this would be useless I think :( Also, DJ wants this to be made by Staff. Anyone interested? Maybe I'll hire Staff real quick and then do this j/k

Yeah they did but the reason why I planned to start #2 in the first place was because ticalc.org started to either ignore great programs like Mobiletunes, Tokens or Exodus or be very slow in news posting, like in 2006-07, and are heading in the wrong direction if the trend continues. Since this lasted for a while I decided to start planning an alternative. Of course they would continue the POTY, but still remains the fact a bunch of programs would be unfairly ignored.

Exodus was featured today :D
Tokens is a great program, but I wonder why it is not featured, it's really good.

Mobiletunes is AWESOME!!

Anyways, any idea when new categories will be announced?

I don,t know yet. If I am less busy after christmas I might announce them, but otherwise I might be hiring a news editor/file archiver prior starting this, to lower my task on Omnimaga.

I could help with new and file archiving/testing, but I'm not sure if I'm completely qualified, otherwise I would totally help.
