I don't think there's any need to be defensive, James. This is, what, the second or third year of the DHAwards? You're going to have kinks and the suggestions and comments I'm seeing here are all very constructive.
Oh yes, I am taking these as constructive comments. Definitely need to arrange translations of call for nominations and voting announcements and get people to circulate them. Still not sure whether it is better to have a non-English category or not. (i.e. which is worse). I'm thinking next year to have a clearer call for feedback, categories, etc.
Please do feel free to translate and circulate the voting announcement! Another 10 days to go!
And oh yes, everybody, GO::DH is a nominee... in tools.
Yes, it was nominated under tools and we left it there. Arguably it could have been moved to being for 'public audiences'. Its place as a 'tool' is debatable... it is one in a metaphorical sense certainly, or in a _very loose_ definition. You commented on twitter that you thought we should have an 'other' category. I've resisted that because I feel it would then become a dumping group for miscellaneous stuff and voters would be comparing apples and elephants. (As it is they are comparing apples and oranges.) However, we've changed the categories each year (this year removing one and adding the non-Eng category). I expect a small change each year in categories.
