Challenge Overview
TopCoder is building a new portal (TopCoder Labs), it will be a gate for companies and individuals to leverage the TopCoder platform and community to build their application, and to have the members who worked on the application SHARE in the value generated by that application.
For a client, it means the ability to build an application with a minimal up-front investment. For members it means moving beyond simple monetary prizes for their work, and optionally giving up the immediate monetary compensation in return for a potentially bigger upside. After the application is completed, TopCoder will be involved in the application's lifecycle to the degree necessary for tracking generated revenue (or other forms of value created). TopCoder will then pay members who worked on that application proportionally to their contribution.
In this contest we'd like to build a contribution tracking system to track members contribution in TopCoder Labs projects.
