At the stroke of midnight (MST of course), I set up the voting booth for
the Vanagon Sticker contest. Voting is now open to Vanagon List members.

VERY IMPORTANT
The issue and question of our sticker's purpose is arising and I can see
this may build and consume considerable bandwidth, therefore I am
setting up the web site with a FORUM with the intent that if needed,
folks can take extended discussions about the design, meaning, visual
impressions, religious significance, other potential controversial
implications derived from the application of Vanagon sticker to their
bus's exterior, etc.  This is to reduce the bandwidth use of Gerry from
this contest discussions.  Just click on the FORUM button.

I have had several list members indicate that they are capable and
willing to print stickers for us.

I also noticed if you insert homepage.html at the end of the previous
web address that you eliminate the banner at the bottom giving more
space to view images, You will lose options to view the FORUM
Discussion.

Don't forget Rons Thumnbnail page.  Thats all I know or care to remember
at this point. Have some fun in the booth.

I agree with Jeff's recent post:
"My question is what are the purpose of the stickers? I had thought they
were so we could identify each other on the road--knowing the guy or gal
in the next bus is a fellow listee..."

I set up the rules for general guidelines. I solicited input WAY BACK,
but didn't get feedback. So I modeled teh requirements after the
previous sticker, therefore the address inclusion.   Personally, I think
something bright, snappy, & distinct would be most visually recognizable
on the road.  Think about what jumps out at you to say: HEY I'M A
LISTEE. I don't mind uploading a few more images of revised stickers.

Don't forget what the Voting Info page says right above the counter: "As
you've may have observed, rules subject to change without notice."

Gotta get some sleep tonight.
