Dave Winer has an interesting blog entry for this past Tuesday:
"This year I’m part of the Wired Magazine Brain Trust – a group of people
who choose the nominees for their annual Rave Awards. Ten people choose the
nominees in each of fifteen categories. We don’t know who the others are,
and we don’t meet. I just turn in a name and Wired Mag takes it from there.
My category is Software Designer. At first I thought this would be too
difficult, there hasn’t been much software design in 2002, but then I
carefully read the instructions, and it doesn’t say anything about this
year. So broaden the question, who would we like to honor for most wired
software design over all time"
Dave is soliciting suggestions on who he should nominate.
