When LProf was rejected I very politely asked what the reason was and what I 
might do to improve my odds next time.   What I was told was that they had 
already filled all of the slots in my apps category.    Which did not make 
any sense to me since I am fairly certain that no color management apps were 
part of this last year.  Apparently the color management category had zero 
slots available.  What was really striking was how fast it was rejected as it 
took less than an hour from when I sent in the application.  So I guess that 
I need to get the application in earlier to be considered since presumably 
there might still be slots available if I get it in early enough.
