Eric, good point about redundant tags. We’ve implemented a change for this which will go out in the next release of the File Exchange application.

You are correct. That’s a mistake. The “darkness” field should be 1 up through d(373) and 0 thereafter. I’ll re-upload the data, but here is some code that will fix your data.

for i = 1:length(d)
    if i < = 373
        d(i).darkness = 1;
        d(i).twilight = 0;
        d(i).daylight = 0;
    elseif i <= 980
        d(i).darkness = 0;
        d(i).twilight = 1;
        d(i).daylight = 0;
    else
        d(i).darkness = 0;
        d(i).twilight = 0;
        d(i).daylight = 1;
    end
end

I took a look at the contest data supplied, and noticed that there are no darkness submissions in there (although there is a “darkness” field for the submission data). Is this correct?

Although I agree it’s better than Marco’s usage of matlab, this contest is going to pollute the whole File Exchange! And it almost looks like this is intended policy by TMW …

What’s going to happen on the main File Exchange page, where every tag is listed individually in the ‘tags’ column, when a file gets hundreds/thousands of vote tags during the contest?

In each files’ page, the repeated tags are listed as vis2009(N). Perhaps this change needs to be made to the File Exchange page before things get out of hand? It would also make it easier to see how many votes a given submission has when browsing or searching by tag.
