As long as it fulfills the criteria of the contest.  Working on trunk or 
detrunk, however it is, I'm more interested in the actual proof of 
concept not the _saying_ of the proof of concept that it'll work.  
Anyone can claim they can give me the world in 4 months, but will they 
be able to do it?  One way to know is through competition.  If one guy 
claims he can do it but the other guy manages to do it.  Then who do you 
think deserve the money?
