I know the user's here has to decide but I guess there must be a certain choice of level entry or add some new categories for the application (beginner, advanced, professionals).

Interesting observation.
In principle I can agree but quality lever is something very difficult to judge.
There can be a quality for many aspects:

quality for source code (quite difficult: I like long names, other like short names for variables)
quality for comments present in the source code
quality for the application documentation
quality for the author support
... what else ??

Also I do not think on equation: BigApplication = HighQuality
I can see a lot of quality also in little applications.

I will think about that and move this request to the author of this forum modification.

Thanks

the script example for the month for competition should be a new example or written between one month not older. that's my suggestion. and the user or developer should get a special reward, they're taking part for that entry. therefore the blaming factor isn't high if you are loosing

"Apprication of the month" applications are nominated by user just going into the application clicking nominate link.
Also consider that the same application can be nominated in different AOTM because the application author can improve it and release new advanced versions.
Users can discover an applications month after its publication so they can nominate it month later.

I'm also talking with the author ot this forum feature modification ( http://snogssite.com/showthread.php?...full=1#post820 ) to see if we can add new features.
