Great idea, I couldn't decide between two persons so this naturally solves my dilemma Very Happy

Congratulations Honza.

I'm new to this concept and would like to know more on how it works. Are the contributors / runners up listed someplace? Forgive my naive questions. Honestly, I do not know.

Thanks to everyone who voted for me. I'm not really sure why, though Smile

There should be a little change to the rules next year... Something along the lines that same person shall not win twice, or at least not twice in row. IMHO there was many people who would deserve the prize more than I did Rolling Eyes

Jerson: There were no restrictions as to who you can choose, if you wanted you could even vote for someone who never heard about U++ Smile

But I guess everyone just voted for someone active on this forum.

Best regards,
Honza

Honza, I'm sure you deserve the prize. However, my question was and still is more elementary. A little more detail on what's involved and how the cookie awards work will help. I myself did not vote since I did not know what factors to consider while I cast votes. The link to the cookie prize page does not really explain things clearly. So, my questions.

I know I am exposing my U++ newbie roots here, but, I guess I'd better be embarrassed for not knowing than remain like that forever.

Thanks, Cheers
