crys.roxy, 

You can only claim one task at a time. I gave you task 88, but if you prefer a
different one, please indicate that.

When you finish one task, you can claim another.

Notice to GHOP Contestants: 

1. Register on the Joomla Forums ( http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?action=register
) if you do not have an ID, already.

2. Create a new forum thread in the Google's Highly Open Participation Contest Board
( http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,487.0.html ) using the # and name of your
claimed task (ex. 11 - Create a module listing a random set of articles excluding
frontpage articles).

3. Introduce yourself and share the description of your task. If you want specific
help, indicate what would be helpful.

4. Your task mentor (and likely other members of the community) will introduce
themselves to you and provide you with guidance needed to complete the task assigned.

5. This is a necessary part of completing your task. Communication is a key aspect of
an open source community and the forums are the focal point of that communication in
Joomla!.

We are eager to meet you and help you be successful with your task. Good luck to each
of you in the contest.

michelleroselle - we need you to follow the process identified in Comment 12 and post
in the Joomla! forums. If we have not heard from you in the next couple of days, we
will assume you are no longer interested and likely open the task back up for others.
Thanks!

michelleroselle - 

Please follow the process identified in Comment 12 within the next 24 hours or we
