Very few new applications last month but there could be a few over this month and the next, we just have to wait and see.

How many applications have you collected?

Bok's "Free-DC" web site shows your hours and how you rank against others (you must allow for the hours export in you account preferences, there is no security problems as no one can access your account).
Just allow the export and as you pass 180 applications I can add you to this list.

A bit static for some people over the last month as well as a couple of big movers.
Finding the applications to run is one thing, running them to 100 hours or more is another.
More people are starting to get on this list as more and more applications from more projects are being processed, lets continue the fun.
It can take a bit of searching to get new applications that suit your needs, so sometimes you add no applications in the month and other times you add a number of applications, you just need patience.
I am still building hours in a number of applications, some new and some I have been working on for a while.

I feel like Steve Martin when his character found his own name in the telephone book... "I'm a somebody!"

Congratulations Brian, you now exist in the crunchy world of e-bling!

9th star changed:

... -> ...

5apps needed for another star, 4apps from a silver upgrade, 6apps needed for emerald, and 3apps needed for a second magenta.

Congratulations Brian, you now exist in the crunchy world of e-bling!

Yeah, thanks

funny part of it is that I've been a WUProp@Home member since 27 Jan 2011 .. I just didn't understand how this worked until recently.

I have upgraded my 11th Star from Bronze to Silver.

Now to keep working on the other colours.

Woot! Yet another colorless upgrade. I now have my top 40 apps all over 250,000 hours. :)

Woot! Yet another colorless upgrade. I now have my top 40 apps all over 250,000 hours. :)

Absolutely amazing work there Mumps, it seems there is need for another level or two to be added.
I won't be worrying those high colours for a long time, but a number of people have now passed 250,000 hours for applications.

More levels (colours) please Sebastien.

Well, Sebastien has already mentioned that with the exponential way that the icon combinations go up with each additional color level, that it would be pretty ridiculous to add more colored stars. But maybe just adding colors to the app listing and stats graph wouldn't be too hard. :)

I've been thinking about how tough it might be to have 2 different badges though. One form (the now traditional ring) for the currently defined levels, but adding a slightly different icon only for those levels beyond 100K. Right now, 250K, 500K and 1M are about it, although I've got the couple of goofy apps nearing 5M hours already. :)

Primegrid added more by reusing the colors, but changing the badge. First badge is just square, next set is a flag.

That could easily be done here, start over on the colors but make the stars a different shape, maybe circle or triangle or ??

Congrats on the update Conan, & Big app update milestone Mumps.

Also changed my 11th star to silver:

... -> ...

Still need 5apps for another star, 5apps needed for emerald, and 3apps for a second magenta...

Regarding any New Badge Proposals:

But maybe just adding colors to the app listing and stats graph wouldn't be too hard. :)

- sounds doable & realistic.

Adding more star colours to the same system is a non starter (exponential increase in badges). So the badge system itself would need to be redesigned to add more star colours. In theory that could be scripted, reading from user data. How practicable that would be I don't know; it might put too much load on the hosting web server, or just be too much unwanted work.
Maybe I'm missing something but I don't think the PG system is similar; changing from a star to a triangle or circle would not reduce the total number of badge variants, it would increase the number of badges (same exponential problem).

Hi - I just finished some time on my 20th project (not 100 hours yet though) so shouldn't I get a badge with 0 stars? until I achieve 100 hours or more on all 20 projects? then I should receive my 1st bronze star!

You need 20 projects at 100+ hours each for a bronze star for any badge to appear.

Congratulations skgiven, you beat me to a 13th star. I have slowed down a bit, working on hours more than apps.

Third star turned gold. Being a person who doesn't bounce projects much anymore, I work on more or less a single project, since they added a bunch of new apps, I had been able to build to a 3rd star and currently have it at gold. It will eventually make Ruby, but probably not go much further than that in any short future.

A number of new applications last month, did you get your fill?

How many applications have you collected?

Bok's "Free-DC" web site shows your hours and how you rank against others (you must allow for the hours export in you account preferences, there is no security problems as no one can access your account).
Just allow the export and as you pass 180 applications I can add you to this list.

We have lost Sergey Kovalchuk from the list as he has turned off the hour export in his account.

Most people added new applications compared to last month where quite a few added hours instead of apps.
The amount of new people on the list shows new apps being added to many peoples accounts.
Finding the applications to run is one thing, running them to 100 hours or more is another.
It can take a bit of searching to get new applications that suit your needs, so sometimes you add no applications in the month and other times you add a number of applications, you just need patience.
I am still building hours in a number of applications, some new and some I have been working on for a while.
Lets continue the fun.

The original hour goal set on this project was a Blue Star equal to 5,000 hours.

Getting 5 Blue Stars was the highest target (at 5,000 hours + for each of 100 applications).

This was first achieved by STEVE and closely followed by zombie67 [MM].

Since then it was found we needed more levels (star colours), even with 10,000; 25,000; 50,000 and 100,000 hour levels these have been reached by a few.

STEVE and zombie67 [MM] where also the first and second to 5 Pink Stars of 10,000 hours each.

Recently shiva and vaughan have joined the 10,000 hour badge club with 5 Pink Stars.

These are amazing outputs from these people, I don't know who or when someone gets to 50,000 hours (cyan colour) for 100 apps but I know someone will.

For me I am still working my way to some colour for my next app but getting 100 of then to the same level is a mighty big effort.

(Hope I didn't miss anybody)
