The Google Highly Open Participation (GHOP) contest has been running for a couple of weeks now, and the Mono Project has seen a fair bit of action. Sadly we've only had five completed tasks, with a couple more almost done. On a lot of the claimed tasks, many of the students and mentors have been slow to act, busy with real life work. I think that the timescale of the tasks makes things difficult.
So far, all five completed tasks for the Mono GHOP have been MonoDevelop -related. I'm really pleased with the amount of interest we've had so far. I'd like to thank our hard-working students and mentors, and the wonderful people at Google's Open-Source Program Office who put this contest together.
