Our application has been submitted and we begin the waiting part of game
show. We have an idea page up now[1], so please begin adding your ideas.
The more ideas, the better as this is considered in the application review
by Google. Any ideas out there that folks would like to start thinking
about? Any mentors that would like to step up for area of the applications?
SME's are greatly welcomed!
