I was just re-reading my "epistle" on Craftsmanship and thinking of how it might apply to this contest. I don't want anyone to think that this showcase/compertition is not meant for _everyone_, from beginner to expert. People generally get into a hobby to enjoy themselves, and I want the folks who enter this to enjoy the experience and to feel that they come away with something worthwhile. Idealism and theory has it's place - and from my previous post you know the expectations I have of myself. But I would not not expect that from someone else. I don't want us to set the bar, or the tone, of this showcase too high that we scare anybody away. I generally drink beer, not fine wine.
