>> * Best Project
>> * Best Tool or Utility for Developers

>> But to have our nomination accepted, we have to answer some questions.
>> Below are the questions and answers from me and Lübbe. Please comment

>>
>>
>> 1. Complete this sentence in about 140 characters: "Our project is
>> [-foo-]." For example, "Our project is a tool that helps you wash your
>> car."
>>
>> Lübbe's answer:
>> TortoiseSVN is a MS-Windows client for the Subversion version control

>> Our project "TortoiseSVN" is a Subversion client for Windows which

"Our project is a full-featured GUI Subversion client which integrates
seamlessly into Windows Explorer. Version control made easier!" (133
chars)
>> 2. Complete this sentence, also in about 140 characters: "We should win
>> because [-bar-]." For example, "We should win because we have a strong
>> community and we solve a universal problem."
>>
>> Lübbe's answer:
>> We should win because not only developers can benefit, but also
>> non-technical users. TortoiseSVN is easy-to-use and possibly the best
>> Subversion client there is.
>>
>> my answer:
>> We should win because we have a very big and active user base which
>> appreciates what our tool can do for them.
>>
>
> We should win because we have a very big and active user base that

"We should win because our large and active user base appreciates the
reliable and intuitive Windows interface to Subversion." (124 chars)
>> 3. Please provide a logo (or screenshot, if you'd prefer) for your
>> project. It should be at least 640x480, but we'll also be showing it

>>
>> Lübbe has created a logo - see attachement.

>>
>> 4. This one is optional, but it could make a big difference. We'd like
>> to show our voters a video that introduces them to the core members of

>> see it!
>>
>>
>> Ok, that's not gonna happen - I'm definitely way too ugly to have a

Agreed. I can't see how a video of developers is going to persuade anyone.
