Win a W910 and P1: new Java ME and UIQ 3 Wiki competitions
Written by Sony Ericsson
Friday, 09 November 2007
Sony Ericsson Developer World is running two Wiki competitions simultaneously during November with the focus on both the UIQ 3 and Java™ ME platforms
The competition is open to all
registered Community members, with two phones - a UIQ 3-based P1
smartphone and a Java Platform 8 (JP-8) W910 Walkman® phone - up for
grabs as prizes. Any article published in the UIQ 3 or Java ME sections
of the Developer World Wiki could be a potential winner and the
submission deadline is December 2, 2007.
Article writing tips
To get you started, here are some tips about what each Wiki article should include:
An introduction where the scope of subject is presented
A description of the
functionality/area to give the reader an insight about the
functionality/area, including a code example with comments
A downloadable example with full
source with comments that can be compiled and run in either the Java ME
2.5.0 SDK or the UIQ 3 SDK
Please remember that the Wiki is a
public space and although we want you to share example code and
diagrams, so do not include any confidential information.
Competition details
Members of the Sony Ericsson Developer World team will assess the merit
of the published Wiki articles and decide the two winners. Their
judgment cannot be contested. This Wiki article competition is open
from now until 23.59 Central European Time (CET) on December 2, 2007.
The winners will be notified in due course.
The articles will be assessed using the following criteria:
Qualities of the article, making the user understand the subject/technology
Relevance to developers
Existing and urgent gaps in existing
documentation including Developers' Guidelines, previous articles,
Tips, Tricks & Code library
Innovative use of an API
Quality of sample code
The length (not too long, not too short), not more than 4 pages long, not less than half a page
Illustrations (screenshots, diagrams)
And last the number of submitted articles, however quality is more important than quantity
To make sure that your Wiki experience
is professional and productive, taking the lead from organizations such
as Wikipedia where active participants are the editors, we've also set
up some house rules. Visit the Wiki welcome page here>>
