Google Highly Open Participation contest ends

Posted by Sigurd on 4 February 2008

After a spectacular two months, the contest to engage highschool students with our project has ended. Back in November we came up 60 initial challenges, and we weren't sure they would all get completed. In fact, we've ended up with three times that!

We've had a tonne of themes, widgets, translations and other work contributed, and we now have the hard task of choosing a supreme contestant who shall be awarded a trip to Google's headquarters.

A special credit goes to Wojtek, Jeff, and Simon for each completing more than twenty tasks; putting them at the top out of the almost 400 students involved.

Check back in one week for our announcement of the winner!
