I like to propose Ledger ( http://ledger-cli.org ), a command-line double-entry accounting system, which is account and currency agnostic, featuring filtered reports, budgeting, forecasting, time-keeping, a Python module, and much more.

Ledger rules!

Hey thanks for the offer. I wrote an open source Elixir application called Magnetissimo. It goes all over the internet, finds torrents and indexes them in a simple to use UI with one-click download links.

Elixir was paramount for this project's simplicity. I leveraged GenServer and the BEAM VM to effortlessly created different crawl queues that utilize all the cpu's cores to maximize throughput. It's really really fast.

The idea is that anyone can clone the project, run it, and get upwards of 400+ torrents indexed per second immediately. Your own personal kickasstorrents. Or host one for your friends and family.

Would love to add a logo to the project.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't think they are, there's often comments at the top that are posted x minutes ago where x < 10. I don't think posts that new could have that many votes. There's probably a weighting factor comparing votes to recency, maybe other factors too.

Thats my guess as well. Thats why we chose to give it a 48 hour wait, so when the storm has settled, we can pick the top comment.

Scores are available via the API... you should use that.

We are currently building the Charme API specification, a JSON based API format that allows to build RESTful and RPC APIs, with support for result streaming and synchronous as well as asynchronous communication.

We just finished the core spec and are currenrly working on protocol specific specifications and the core extensions. A lot of work, so that we hadn't any time to think about a logo (only a temporary one, to not to be a Twitter egg, see @CharmeAPI).

Would be great if we could get a professional logo this way! More info: charme.org

Thanks!

K-9 Mail, the single largest open source E-Mail client on Android, is in dire need of a new logo! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9 Related info, I have been working on PGP/MIME support in K-9 full time since January. Most of that work is already merged on master, and is going to make it into a release very soon!

What's wrong with the current logo? It looks great!

It really sticks out in the launcher, next to a pile of material style icons it just looks... old
