Maybe it would help to make a summary page of all plugins, so it is more fair for plugins that have been announced early and are now stuck lower on the front page or even on earlier pages. Maybe one could even set up an overview where each plugin gets a short review and can be rated from 1-5, the way you can rate the announcements now.
Having all participating plugins on one page might also help getting more quality and reliability into the ratings, because this way, the evaluators can (and have to) explain their decisions, and rating can be done comparatively.
I keep seeing some of the same plugins appearing more than once. Why not just write one post and at the bottom have an updated section on the changes and stuff? Kind of getting confusing seeing one plugin and four posts below the same plugin. Not sure if they are two different plugins by the same author or what until I scroll back up and see that the newer post is nothing more than a bug fix, etc.
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.

I agree alex, it was kind of confusing the way that this is set up.
