So, I've updated the bot to version 0.4! The main addition is participant user-pages, that display a list of all the
books/movies/etc that you've been through, as well as a few basic statistics and some user information pulled from twitter profiles. The overall ranking I've solved like this: First, I group all entries by participant, so it's easy to see what everyone's working on. Any entries that are part of the advanced challenge are scaled back by 50% - because these participants have a much higher skill level for this language. I add up the total amount of work that the participant has put in across all their entries, and rank participants by this total work - this seems fairest because people doing the full and half challenges should theoretically be at similar language levels. There are a few other tweaks in the twitter responses/tags, but mostly those were the two biggest changes. edit: Oh, and there was a bug where film titles were being incorrectly recorded. Everything should be fixed now - but if you notice any strange movies in your list, let me know and I'll straighten things out!
Unfortunately you can't register for writing or speaking with the half-challenges (this would add more work to them, defeating the point!). You'll have do decide between doing a half challenge (where you can still do writing and conversation yourself, it just won't be tracked by the bot), or doing a full challenge!

Shiny!!!
I don't think better instructions/layout are needed, really :) Though it might make sense to hide the instructions behind a separate link, like on the 6wc bot page. Kerrie's entries aren't grouped for some reason - is it because she's not posted an update yet? also, laughing at your example for tracking conversation;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

GeoffWilliamson has a French film and his challenges aren't grouped together, either. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for all the hard work you're putting into this, surrealix! Having both the Super Challenge twitterbot and the 6WC bot is a huge motivator. :)

Looking at the standings, it looks to be a sorting issue. Challenges get broken up when they are tied with other people.
