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!

Okay, I kindly request for an answer if the Half Challenges can't include neither conversations nor
written entries - because it's high time to register :-)


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;)

GeoffWilliamson has a French film and his challenges aren't grouped together, either.

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.
