SilverStripe: Google Contest ends, Winners to be chosen

The Google Highly Open Participation Contest ended after a hive of stunning
work over two months. SilverStripe begun with 60 tasks, and because
students get paid for each successfully completed task, SilverStripe had to
seek numerous times for Google to increase the funding to enlarge the
contest based on unanticipated student demand. In the end, about 180 tasks
were completed, three times the initial expectation.

The contest took the number of SilverStripe themes from two to several
dozen, with Polish contestant Wojtej Szkutnik responsible for 14 hot themes
alone.

Dozens of new widgets, language translations, developer community
awareness presentations, quality assurance, and other challenges were also
completed.

See the list of work at code.google.com. More at (including interviews of top 3 students) Silverstripe.com.

We now decide the supreme winner, to be announced in 1 week.
