I have a small, but handly server application with no gui components. It does use the Networking, Sql and XML and threading components of Qt quite extensively. Is this acceptible? What category do I put this under?

A tough question, because it doesn't fit into the "Desktop application" category. Without knowing what the application does it's hard to say if it fits into any available category.

The program is a specialized web server. It is specialized in that it serves images which are saved in a database. It can resize them, convert them to several formats and set the number of colors or make them black and white.

It was born out of necessity. I have several web sites which handle items with photos. They all need thumbnails and using ftp was a pain. So I have written clients to put the images into the database and have the server show them in the required size and format.

I would submit some of the clients, but none of them are complete enough to qualify. The server qualifies nicely, It is well written, clean interfaces and resonably commented. It also is probably one of the more unique applications Qt has been used for :).

Then I suggest you think yourself if the application qualifies to any of the categories (including Desktop Application) and submit it to this category if it does.
