Cheers! I've signed up :) Although FYI, I'm away from LJ-land for a few days, so if anything needs doing ASAP, I'm not going to see it before I'm back in the country next Fri. If that's going to cause a problem, just let me know.

That seems like a good compromise to me. If the caps are posted way in advance of the challenge taking place then as you've said it'll have virtually the same effect and in fact may even make it *easier* to plan icon-making time. I think it should work well, but we'll see what people think, I guess... Looking forward to it!
