Curation changes

The way curation works now is slightly unfair. One project might be front-paged for 3 days, and another one might only get one.

To make it equal, I suggest that the curator row would work like the Top Loved, Viewed, and Remixed.

The projects shown on the front page would all be randomly chosen from a pool of projects that the curator has selected. This would not only extend the lifespan of a curated project, it would be more fair.

Also another random suggestion: why don't we have two curators at the same time? There are so many people and projects that I see no harm in doing so.

Re: Curation changes

@ First suggestion: Then the first curated projects would reappear more than the last curated projects. When I was curator I tried my best to curate 1 project every day, I messed up twice. Paddle2See did excellent helping me out while I was at space camp  tongue
@ Second suggestion: Support.

EDIT: Once I accidentally curated a project

Haha, imagine the excitement of getting curated and then being told it was an accident.

I don't support the first suggestion for the reason chanmanpartyman said, but I like the second suggestion.

Re: Curation changes

how about the curator selects 10 projects to be curated, (at the beginning) which are put into a pool. the projects are randomly selected.

I totally support; once I was curated for less than a day, another time it was for 4 days!

What if they spotted an awesome project halfway through their curation slot?
