Maybe we need a HOF in the form of a *-TOP, (like some musical weekly
ordered by sales/popularity/... ).
Let's assume a Top-20 (or Top-50 ?), the list would be x2 or x3 that
length (or do we need a limit ?), with entries once old enough (a year)
and down the list (past its length) going either to limbo or to the
retirement list (unlimited, unsorted) if they ever achieved to enter the
HOF (I hate destroying data, but if some contributions look like a black
picture with a single white pixel it might not be worth keeping for
posterity, yet the nice pictures of 20 years ago might be worth some
respect even if now they looks so easy).
Each "voter" could either:
 * vote for a limited (?) number of entries (with different fixed
weights), such as 15 for a top-20 ?
 * order the whole list of candidates
 * get to compare some pair of pictures with answer like "First image
definitely","rather first image but second is ok too", "both are pretty
good", "both are as bad and should not be kept"...
(see

perfection is impossible, the vote-system chooses the winner)

To also allow a bit of fairness between images, they should be similar
in size. Alas, fixing dimensions also fix the ratio, and some
compositions do not fit in the ratio of other. Maybe just a pixel count
should be used, such as 1 million pixels exactly (or within 5%).

The number of pixel should be revised along the years.

Anyone got such web-code already ? something as nice as cgsphere.com
Or time & talent to develop such gallery ?
(and beware of spammers)
