I'm not quite sure what happened to the "chart" thing that was supposed 
to be attempted here, so unless someone objects, I'm going to take it 
upon myself to do it...but in a slightly different fashion (as if I can 
actually recall what format it was planned to be in anyway).
 
Reducing it to just the two most important categories, MOD and AUTHOR, I 
think is a good start.  Keeps things streamlined and to the point.  
Insofar as a prescribed method of voting, I'd like to set it up as sort 
of a top 10 list of each (voters, of course, can have a shorter list if 
they wish) whereby you can distribute 100 
points/chits/beans/jujubes/coins/floats/etc. however you like.
 
I think this method will yield a more representative result since I know 
that I would find it very difficult to decide, with any conviction, a 
single choice in either category.
 
A note about MOD names:  In order to keep things as accurate as possible, 
all MODs MUST be listed by the name that is in the body of the MOD itself 
(and, optionally, whatever name it was archived under if that name is 
distinctly different -- something that annoys the hell outta me, by the 
way). I realize MEDs might present a problem as many do not have names 
present, so under that circumstance, the archive name will have to 
suffice.  I don't anticipate too much problem in either case, but it 
helps to lay a guideline to minimize it.
 
Also, to make collating this stuff easier, please use this handy dandy 
form for creating your lists (obviously the MOD list at the top, the 
author list at the bottom):

Add any extraneous information in a note below the "form" and I'll 
include it (if appropriate/necessary) when posting the results.
 
If you have the site name/address where the MODs you vote for can be 
found, supply it/them.  Since I have a lot of MODs I like that I never 
see on sites, and I'm sure I'm not unique in that aspect, it would be 
ridiculous to make it a requisite criterion for voting.  If they're 
available there are ways to findem if you wannem.
 
Okay peoples, shall we have a go at it?  This'll only be 
useful/interesting if there's a decent amount of response, so participate 
and make it so!
 
This post will have been put on the net on 12/12.  Those interested may 
send me their votes at their earliest convenience. I think a closing 
deadline for collection of said votes on 12/24 would be about right.  
Plenty of time for the occasionals to get a chance to speak their mind.  
Sometime shortly after Xmas I will post the results in this conference.
 
Oh, and as per typical practices, you may not vote for yourself or MODs 
created by you.  THAT should be up to others. :)
