I think people just gave up, which is really kind of sad.  You actually 
can win cash prizes.  I think that first place was like $500.  It is more 
or less still running.

Not a single person has submitted a thing.  I was told I didn't run it 
long enough, so I extended.  Still no entries.  I think it is going on 
almost 6 months since I had announced it.

There has been lots of information posted to this mailing list, along with 
updates to my site, but still not a single person.

If you would like to post some details on how to do it too, that would be 
great!

I was really hoping a lot of people would be interested in the skinning. 
I know a lot of people are interested in the BlueQuartz / CentOS combo.

Since I put out the v4.5 installer, I have had about 2,000 or so 
downloads.  That doesn't include the count from the other mirrors either.

That is since August 15th too, which makes it even more impressive! :)

Good look on making your entry
