Seems to me that the deadline for nominations may be too soon. Perhaps it
should be extended?

By the current deadline of this coming Sunday Noon US CDT, nominations
will have been open for 21 days. That's three full weeks and there's
still more than five full days left as this is being written.

That's not to say that the deadline can't be extended if enough people
call for it, but I suspect many people feel like I do that the time is
sufficient. I'm sure there are others who feel it's too long.

Comments, anyone?

Three weeks should be enough but at this stage of the nominations it seems
a larger proportion of apps than usual will be dropped from the current
list. Of course you can't tell until the deadline passes so it's only be
an impression.

That's why I wrote the deadline for nominations may be too soon.
