 * First of all, thank you for this plug-in. It does everything I need it to do,
   though there are a few things I still _wish_ it could do. (Maybe there are workarounds
   that actually allow it to these things already?)
 * 1) My club has monthly competitions and know the date each will start. Is there
   any way to have the form disabled until the submission window begins?
    2) In 
   connection with the above, if the form could be invisible (instead of showing
   a message that it’s not available for uploads), then all the forms for the year
   could be placed on one page, but only the current competition form would be visible
   at any time. 3) Any way to allow the deadline/closing date to appear even if 
   a member isn’t logged in?
 * Again, thank you for the plug-in. Despite wanting more from it, it really is 
   the most complete tool specifically for camera competitions I’ve been able to
   find.

 * Automating the opening of a form is near the top of my to-do list. But it turns
   out to be rather more complicated than it appeared initially, so it will not 
   be available for the next release. Possibly for the one after. But I’d caution
   that relying completely on something like this is a bit risky. You would need
   to carefully check out the appearance of each form ahead of time before closing
   all but one.
 * If you set the “upload is closed” text in the settings to a space (it is a required
   field, so right now it can’t be completely blank), all that will display is the
   title of the webform. If others like the idea, I could fairly easily make the
   display of the title optional, too.
 * I’ll put it on my list to look into the feasibility of your third request. It
   may not be too hard to do as an option. Myself, I prefer the belt-and-braces 
   approach of making the page itself invisible until a user is logged in, so hackers
   get as little information as possible.
