yes, that's right. Nevertheless, my concern was more how close 26.5 is to 30 because it's possible that there are "too many" projects with points higher than 26.5 ... maybe i didn't use the right mathematical terms or so :-)
Ah, yes, of course -- it's an issue of statistics rather than maths. Even if we had 29.5 out of 30, it would be no use if there were funds enough for just (say) 100 projects, and 101 other projects had a full 30/30!-) And of course we have no way to know about it until we're told...
This is correct. My hope is just, as expressed in another message, that there is a certain noise level of "we need to find something" results. I think they were applied to us, and I hope to others as well, lowering the results of all competitors a little bit. If so, then we are looking really good, I guess. ciao - chris -- Christian Tismer :^) <mailto:tismer@stackless.com> Mission Impossible 5oftware : Have a break!
