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.

Is open office used throughout a requirement? or just a suggestion for those w/o another layout program?
Comment 14 by amystephen, Nov 29, 2007
Would you mind posting your questions in the Joomla! forums? (instructions above) We
would very much appreciate that! Thanks! Amy :)
