Samson,

The majority of candidates were able to express in the space limit set
without complaining.

Many even added links to be able to express additional
ideas/projects/experience/etc.


In my opinion it was a great idea to set this very reasonable characters
limit because it increases chances of all candidates submission to be read.

Anyhow, can I send the election report to community?
