Great idea! We are organizing a similar event in Toronto for late November. Its a 24 hour coding war between 6 developing teams and 6 charities. In the alotted 24 hours the 6 teams must come up with an atractive website for the prescribed charity. There are no real winners, just end results. Each chairty will get a fully functional website from the challange. The main purpose is to the give charities more exposure through their website and to give us here at Indoor Playground - Center for Innovation exposure as well. If you have anymore questions regarding your plans for a similar event please feel free to contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheers, Renee
