Hi all,,
I don't get it!
No.... really I don't!
I know of this webcup but I automatically assumed everything (code etc)
is written from complete scratch!
Am I now hearing they're using TEMPLATES? But there is a team of 4 given
24 hours (that's equal to 12 man days of 8-hour shifts) to modify a
template?
Is this really correct or are you really just joking so we can laugh? I
would like to know the truth.
Thanks
Dhiruj
