Thank you for that link, just looked up the site. It seems that we 
cannot qualify in this round due to at least two restrictions:

    * The code must be in C++, Java or PHP. The reasons seems to be that
      the code coverage is measured with programs in those three
      languages according to the FAQ.
    * The project in question must be available for at least a year via
      sourceforge or a compliant opensource server service.

Probably, if we had a comparable program for code coverage measurements 
(from the FAQ: "Code coverage is measured by three tools for C/C++ 
(Bullseye), php (phpcodecoverage), and Java (clover) applications.") we 
could start to get arguing us into the contest. Given the short 
timeframe (we would need to register by August 31st) and the present 
restriction, I would assume that we would (unfortunately) not qualify. 
Should they (spikesource) run the same contest in the future and would 
we be able to supply a comparable code coverage measurement tool for 
ooRexx, then we should try to get into it and motivate people to help 
win in the contest.
