Goals: http://www.ioccc.org/2018/rules.txt

Who Won?: http://www.ioccc.org/2018/whowon.html

Guidelines: http://www.ioccc.org/2018/guidelines.txt

rules.txt contains rules and the overarching goals of the IOCCC, not the particular theme/goal for this year, and now I've wasted a few minutes poking through it to make sure. Thanks a lot.

I don't think there are any "goals" to the IOCC beyond writing the most clever and obfuscated code. There are only rules limiting what's acceptable.

You pointed me in the right direction, thanks! I was confusing IOCCC with the Underhanded C Coding Contest, which does have a goal / theme.

Are you perhaps thinking of the underhanded code contest?

I am! Good catch, that explains my confusion. :-)

Everyone's a winner! :)

The page / site really needs a redesign and a bit of writing done.

I'm actually of a mind to start a new webpage that does just that, but there might be some copyright issues there.

Should be fine, no?

I'm not sure what copyright issues (writing or code or?) you are concerned about, but you should be able to get around them with a little planning. Just don't outright copy stuff.

Or just get in touch with the people behind the site and ask for explicit permission. Seems the simplest way to be sure, no?

"It is easier to get forgiveness than permission." -- Words of wisdom from a career bureaucrat.

I think the simplest way is to just set up a site and make sure you cite your sources. The site under discussion here would be a primary source and should be listed as such on every single page that references any of the data found there.

Beyond that, it really depends on what the GP intends.

Start a blog and write a little blurb about each winner as separate blog posts? I don't think any permission is needed. Just write whatever you want to say about the project and note that they are the winner listed here and link to the page where they are listed.

Start a clone of the site that adds additional info? Yeah, you maybe need to go talk to folks and find out if they are okay with that and get it in writing.

An IOCCC Judge here. Do you want to volunteer? What do you have in mind? Please contact us at [email protected] and include "IOCCC 2018" in the subject line. Thanks!

Not GP, but if you put the whole website on a git repo people can contribute easily (I can somehow imagine you may not too keen on handing things over to Github or something centralised like that, but surely you can have a self-hosting option)

right at the top are a couple of links like rules.txt and whowon.html, those might explain a bit more
