News Challenge Finalists

The wording on that page was a bit misleading.
That wasn't the finalists, it was a subset of the finalists. Specifically, the rejected finalists who had selected that their proposal be in the "open" category.

Looking forward to seeing the list on May 14th!

Whatever your first issue of concern, media had better be your second, because without change in the media, the chances of progress in your primary area are far less likely. http://denveropenmedia.org

The list we posted were the finalists minus those that Knight Foundation has decided to fund. The ones we are funding, and the ones on that list, are all our finalists. As odd as it seems, it's really not that hard to blow through $5 million when you are funding big projects. Many of the ones Knight Foundation did not fund were not funded simply because the money ran out. The are still wonderful projects that deserve funding from someone, which is why we are publicly posting them.

I haven't reviewed the others, so this is no reflection on them, but Ryan Szarma's looks fantastic.

And we – especially those who met him at Drupalcon Boston – know he of Ubercart fame is fantastic.

So that's got my vote to be at the top of our recommendations.
