A few questions have come up over and over, so it's probably good to just answer 'em once here.

Is midnight on Wednesday the hour between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, or between Wednesday night and Thursday morning?

It's the hour between Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

Does my app have to be snow?

No, anything with a holiday theme is great. I just used Snö as an example.

Can you elaborate on setting up my charity?

Just pick one that has an online donation page, and I'll set up the rest. I'm just going to put up a gateway page that asks the user how much she is donating, and to which to charity, purely on the honor system.

Do I need to release my code on sourceforge?

Nope, just make the source available. I'm probably going to put mine on Google's OSS site. In fact, if there's some overriding reason why you can't open source it, that's fine too.

How will the winner be determined?

Whoever's charity receives the highest dollar amount of donations wins!

But I don't like beer! And I'm underaged!

No problem, I just used beer as an example. Losers will gift the winner any present around $20 or two six-packs of good beer.

The response so far has been great, and we've got an excellent pool of developers already, with a few more still in the pipe! So if you're on the fence, jump off and !
