mustache ranking
To better decide the mustache contest, we've been working on a system to let people rank the candidates. There are two problems: deciding on a fair ranking -- we'll probably use the Condorcet stuff I wrote a while back -- and letting people rank the candidates.
Here's a bit of a mockup of the latter we did in Javascript. You can drag the people around, but there's no save yet:
ranking demo.
(Props to Boodman for the DOM drag code.)

mustache ranking
I found it very difficult to focus on the mustache. Instead I found myself ranking overall hotness. Not that I minded.Re: mustache ranking
I'd like to eventually use this same system for ranking all sorts of things!Instead of modifying the src property for three constant img nodes, pre-load all the progress thumbnails as separate img nodes, from a timeout set in the onload handler. Wrap each set of progress thumbnails in a separate div, and then all you need to do is hide/show the appropriate div. It ought to give you virtually instant image changes for your onmouseover handler. As it is now, I can still occasionally see a cascading flash as images are swapped out, even when the images have already been cached by Firefox.
I added that last bit in a rush just because I had the extra picture data; I don't like the interface for it at all.
