This week we had 3 contributions and 2 were upvoted by Utopian.
The average score was better than the previous 3 weeks and all the contributors were new users or at least not active in the previous months. 
This month we did not have any contribution from the *active users* who I mentioned in some reports, weeks ago. But the good thing is that we had contributions from new users and some were really good.
Our challenge for the next month is to try to encourage these new users to be actives.
*Fun fact: After winning the first mini contest, we did not have any contribution from @ckole.*
Today is the end of the second round of the mini contest and I will send the prize to the winner... or winners? Read more below ;)
*Remember that upvotes are never guaranteed*.

We did not have Staff picks this week, but you can read these two contributions. Check it out.

[Suggestion; Add category templates to post editor and implement auto-tagging on Knacksteem.](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@harry-heightz/suggestion-add-category-templates-to-post-editor-and-implement-auto-tagging-on-knacksteem) by @harry-heightz
[MonsterBot - SteemMonsters Tournaments Integration](https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@rivalzzz/monsterbot-steemmonsters-tournaments-integration-b9f34f268cf1fest) by @rivalzzz

#### Mini contest
**Prize**: 5 STEEM every month (If more contributors are participating, I will increase the prize).
**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. The points of *Staff pick* and *Highest score* are not cumulative.

* Points:
	* Staff pick: 5 points
	* Contribution with the highest score (below the Staff Pick): 2 points.
	* Contribution with the second highest score: 1 point.

**When?** At the end of every month I will send the prize to the winner.

**Second round: December**
**Points**
Staff pick: None
Highest score: harry-heightz [2 points]
Second highest score: rivalzzz [1 point]

**Ranking**

| Author        | Points |
| :------------ | :-----|
| amosbastian      | 5 |
| tobias-g      | 5 |
| upheaver      | 5 |
| rivalzzz | 3 |
| difelice5000 | 2 |
| louis88 | 2 |
| theycallmedan | 2 |
| harry-heightz | 2 |
| zoneboy | 1 |

#### Congrats @amosbastian, @tobias-g, @upheaver!
As expected, those who had their posts picked by us (Staff pick) had more chances to win the contest. Since we had three winners I will split the prize and send them 2 STEEM each.
We had more contributors than the previous month, so I will increase the prize for the third round (January). I am not sure yet, but for the next round I will send 80% to the winner and 20% to the second. Or I will split the prize if there are more than 1 winner. 

`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**.

## Common mistakes and how to fix them
![](http://mabusagency.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/illustration-e1425400920126.jpg)
[source](http://mabusagency.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/illustration-e1425400920126.jpg)

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.

### 1 - Contributions with a score of 25 or less

#### 1.1 - The suggested idea is duplicated
This is not easy to spot, so do not rush and take few minutes to check it.
Go to the repository of the project and check the Issues Tracker.
Remove the `is:open` filter from the search field (to look for open and closed issues).
Write a word (or two). The keyword(s) of the feature(s) you are going to submit.
After that, look at if someone submitted it on Utopian in the past, a good search engine for that is [AskSteem](https://www.asksteem.com/). Also, you can use [this tool](https://utopiandb.herokuapp.com/?&type=ideas) made by @crokkon.

### 2 - Contributions with a score of 50 or *more*

#### 2.1 - The impact on the functionality and usability of the project is low
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.

## Interesting open source projects
![](https://d2slcw3kip6qmk.cloudfront.net/marketing/blog/2017Q4/marketing-plan-template/marketing-plan-header@2x.png)

In case that you want to contribute on the Suggestions category but do not know any project, check this list.

#### 1 - SeaMapDroid
*An open source Android application for consult the libre online nautical maps OpenSeaMap (map.openseamap.org).* [[Source]](https://github.com/marcoM32/SeaMapDroid/blob/master/README.md)

#### 3 - Notable
*The markdown-based note-taking app that doesn't suck.
I couldn't find a note-taking app that ticked all the boxes I'm interested in: notes are written and rendered in GitHub-flavored Markdown, no WYSIWYG, no proprietary formats, I can run a search & replace across all notes, notes support attachments, the app isn't bloated, the app has a pretty interface, tags are indefinitely nestable and can import Evernote notes (because that's what I was using before).* [[Source]](https://github.com/fabiospampinato/notable/blob/master/README.md)

Another nicely formatted weekly report for the Suggestion category. The report is precise, and all graphical content looks catchy. Particularly, the chart for ''Number of reviews by moderators''.

The week falls within the holidays, so that might have a little effect in the number of contributions to the category. Also, @ckole used to be a consistent contributor to the category. Anyway, he could be busy with other things.
The mini-contest was highly competitive in December 2018. It is a nice indication that the Suggestion category is getting more competitive. Honor to the 3 guys!

Your tips for common mistakes are really useful. Especially the first tip about ''the suggest idea is duplicate''. The tools you provided should help contributors. Also, thank you for sharing those nice projects.
Happy new year and stay great!

Please note that while the CM hasn't changed the footer, I am not scoring #iamutopian posts based on the questionnaire. They have their own metric, and that will be the case until we go live with the new guidelines and new questionnaire, which will be comprehensive enough to reflect these types of posts. 

Your contribution has been evaluated according to [Utopian policies and guidelines](https://join.utopian.io/guidelines), as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.

To view those questions and the relevant answers related to your post, [click here](https://review.utopian.io/result/1/13131314).
