Personally, I don’t think the competition should be extended. Two months is rather a long time to develop and test a plugin. There’s still over a month left, so I think people who are interested but have not yet committed still have ample opportunity to get involved.
I would opted for Keeping the competition going some more it makes for a more enjoyable watch as well as making it more competitive to who provides the best plugins for the wordpress community. Maby you should consider doing this competition twice a year its cool.
I would support it being a regular thing as well, maybe twice a year. Especially if it could be done in a way that promotes more collaboration and less secrecy.
As an end-user of plugins, and not a designer of them, I vote for one more month. For several reasons.
1. More time for people to make the plugins they are working on as good (and bug-free) as possible.
2. More time for people to submit plugins in general (better for the community)
3. More time for prizes to come out of the woodwork, which in turn will be more incentive for better plugins
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.

Also considering many of us have several irons in the fire, I vote for another month.
