- SkyMarshal 16y agoThey're running a contest to get devs to build stuff using their API. Nothing published yet it appears, but poke around here periodically for updates: http://appsfordevelopment.challengepost.com/ http://appsfordevelopment.challengepost.com/
- sudonim 16y agoWe're administering the contest for The World Bank. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out through the website. I'm happy to help. - Colin, Head of Product, ChallengePost.
