Is not urgent, as we will need a couple of days anyway to get familiar 
with the tool, but once the real filtering starts, it will be needed.

Considering many countries have thousands or tens of thousands of 
pictures, browsing them will take a while, so 12 thumbnails per page as 
in the demo is low, the filtering will take a long while.

Here are some usability suggestions:
- at first it was un-intuitive for me to discover the "update decisions" 
button. now that i discovered it, i know what to do, but a bit of 
scrolling is still needed;
- also I have to acknowledge I was confused at first with the position 
of the "accept" and "reject" icons, a few times I clicked on the wrong 
ones, I expected them to be below the pictures but they were at the top;
- the filtering is going to be used my more people at the same time. One 
user will browse the images, accept some, reject some but also defer 
some, leaving the decision for others. A faster way to navigate the 
images is needed, perhaps in the footer in addition to "<< Start || < 
Previous || Next >" some way to jump to "page N".

For the second stage, image rating, I only saw a screenshot so far so 
for now I have a single request: a more fine-grained noting system. When 
the jury is small, only 1-5 stars is to little and will produce a lot of 
collisions, multiple image with the same score.
Last year in my country we had every member of the jury give an image 3 
scores from 1 to 10 for different criteria: artistic quality, technical 
quality and usefulness for Wikipedia and made a pondered sum (50%, 30%, 
20%) for a final note for each person.
While this may be overkill for the global competition and juries in 
every country, moving to 1-5 stars is way too little. I will think a bit 
more about how comfortable a 1-10 rating per image is.

Thanks.
