From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
Or stick with the ones we already have?

Last week's poll was a surprise.  People actually voted against the idea of a brand new gallery on the site, and when I've talked about other new galleries in the past the general response seems to either be "meh" or "no" so it raises a question in my mind.  Does the community on the whole want the site to expand in its coverage to cover new types of skinning? 

With the advancement of cell phones, PDAs, and web-based applications, the world of skinning has grown drastically past the world of Windows applications.  Now you have skinnable phones, web apps like WordPress & phpBB that have incredibly complex theme and plugin systems.

So this week's question is "Should WinCustomize Add More Galleries?"  It's a simple yes/no question like last week's.

Note: this thread is NOT for gallery requests.

Discussion about new content does not mean that "older" sections are discarded.

When it comes to site changes, adding a new gallery for a new product is considerably easier than reorganizing an existing gallery with all of its content.  In the short term, I could add a cell theme gallery and grow the site, community and skin gallery. 

If I wanted to go in and fundamentally change how a gallery is organized or presented, I need a lot of time, at least one dedicated developer, someone to help with a new UI for the gallery, and then going through the database to move data around.

My current inability to affect large site changes should not preclude me from making simple ones.

I voted yes for mobile phones. I think there are already enough galleries to customize a computer as a whole. Adding a few would be nice but the site must not get flodded with galleries of different softwares which work similarly. If a software is there which includes skinning of something new then it should be added otherwise no.

And ya one more thing...
Changing this blue "Vote Now" button would be nice. Gets my vote.

If someone wants to make a better "Vote Now" button for me, I'd be more than happy to use it    Since adding the button, voting has taken a significant jump.
