This is a weekly report of the Suggestions category. It contains basic stats, tips and interesting open source projects to start contributing. Also, I will show you the most common mistakes of this week and how to fix them.
In this post:
This week we received 17 contributions and 15 have a chance of being rewarded, or have already been rewarded. Although the average score was below 50, the number of contributions was pretty good.
As we can see in the charts above, the number of contributions and the average score is always on the opposite direction, when one is high the another one is low. We need to find a balance in both numbers.
The most active moderator this week was @syedumair
Remember that upvotes are never guaranteed.
This week we did not have a Staff pick, but you can check this great posts:
Prize: 10 STEEM (+ the Community Bounty, which is 33 STEEM).
Total Prize: 43 STEEM
How? Submit a contribution to the Suggestions category. A contributor can submit more than one contribution per week. If your contribution got a score higher than 50 you get points.
| Score | Points |
|---|---|
| 100 or Staff Pick | 7 |
| 90 - 99 | 5 |
| 80 - 89 | 4 |
| 70 - 79 | 3 |
| 60 - 69 | 2 |
| 50 - 59 | 1 |
| 0 - 49 | 0 |
When? At the end of every month I will send 75% of the Total Prize to the winner and 25% to the second place.

Disclaimer: The prize is taken from my personal account. This is an unofficial contest. It is only for the Suggestions category. You must not complain to Utopian about this contest. If something is wrong with the points, or if the rules are not clear, you should write to me, not to Utopian.
After this month I will stop the contest for a while.
The aim of this section is to show you the most common mistakes found this week. Followed by a short description and tips when applicable. Usually, I split the section in two: Contributions with a score of 25 or less and Contributions with a score of 50 or less.
If the overall of your post is excellent, but your idea has little impact on the functionality and/or usability of the project or could be achieved in a easy way, you will get a few point less. Try to suggest unique, original and useful features.
When you propose a new feature, it is great if you add a possible solution although this is not mandatory. Explain how to implement it.
You can add a pseudo code script with your possible solution and detail in which file it should be added.
If you do not know how to code, you can explain in details how this new feature should works. Where should be implemented? In which component of the app? In what position? Why is that a good position for that feature? What happens if you click on it?
Mockups are useful. Edit your images, try to follow the pattern design of the app. For example, if the app use Material Design, try to follow the rules of Material Design and add Icons which are listed in their site. Do not paste a random image/icon that you found on Google.
In case that you want to contribute on the Suggestions category but do not know any project, check this list.
