NANY 2009 PROGRESS REPORT - The Volunteer Voice

Perry Mowbray:
The Volunteer Voice
December 6th marks the NANY 2009 Challenge as a little over three weeks old and we've seen an explosion of interest, pledges and teasers already! We've also had, in addition to the NANY Mug, some great rewards pledged by DonationCoder members for the coders that satisfy the Challenge requirements.

The aim of the NANY Challenge is to release a new programme, utility, game, etc on January 1st, which you have first pledged your commitment to produce in the NANY 2009 Intro thread; our aim was to have the pledges close on December 7th: so there's still time to join the fun! Read the instructions here if your interested: we're always happy to bend some aims to increase the fun. If you're in need of some inspiration you can check out the Communal Idea Thread.

This thread will include regular updates by your humble volunteer that will focus on the various entries (in no particular order), but first some interesting details about this year's Challenge.

NANY 2009 Challenge Details (updated Jan 1 2009)

* 39 Pledges
* 1 Teaser
* 35 Entries
One of the wonderful surprises of each NANY is the wide variety of entries, and this year is not different, though there is (understandably) a strong bias towards Windows:

* 30 Windows Based
* 3 Interpreted (Ruby, Java, AdobeAir)
* 1 Web Based
* 1 Android Based
So far the entries have focused on getting things done, with the main Categories:

* 31 Utilities
* 4 Entertainment based (including 1 addictive game)
* There's also been strong support for the development of our beloved FARR with 3 new Plugin releases.

NANY 2009 Challenge: 29 Pledges & 14 Entries so far!

We have encouraged this year's entrants to post a Teaser of their entry, and not wait until the project has been completed. Some entries are still being developed and are even open for feature requests. Here are some of the fine entries so far:

Jellyfish Lists
Jellyfish Lists is a small web application that handles lists and notes. Jellyfish Lists has an HTML and WML interface, and can also be used from any WAP/WEB enabled phone.

File Replicator
File Replicator is a program that searches for a specified file within a specified root folder and replaces it with another copy of the file. This is useful for updating a file that is located in multiple folders to a newer version.  This is a GUI based replacement for the File Propagator script.
