​The title is misleading then. WebCup Inter-college competition should be
more appropriate.​

​It's a bit of sarcasm here but you imagine people from outside Mauritius
will look and see participants of the only Web Competition using
off-the-shelf templates, editing texts, with poor image editing skills and
ripping off others copyright. The behaviour is same as college kids
modifying pages.

I appreciate Sun's (& team) work on AngularJS and their creative side with
ATMA. Though I expected more from them. I don't know how they distributed
the resources. If all of them spent the first few hours in thinking about
the subject, then coding, then graphics... It would tire the team.

​A more proper approach would be, 2 persons setting up the platform & dev
environment while two spend time thinking, wireframing and distributing the
load of work (setting milestones for regular intervals within 24 hours).
Stay relaxed, sleep & work in-turns. Tiring 4 people during the whole 24
hours isn't effective use of resources.

One could say Ish is only commenting negative things, it's just my feedback
on what I see. Take it or leave it.

Regards,​
