I think the selection of the Board should be the choice of the coders and designers donating their time for the contest. I'm sure charity or non-profit boards will benefit from this as well.

Edit: @Hambil, yes the main organization will be run by the staff in the event we decide to go with this. :)

I like the idea of charity and non-profit, but I think it should be essay driven, and not exclusive to charity and non-profit. Let the essay make the case, and whoever makes the best case wins.

Yuhp, the essay is a great idea. :up:

Mostly, I like this idea. Maybe call it "Extreme Makeover--BB Edition." I'm less than thrilled by the pimp reference. Kewl idea, though!

I like this also and i can volunteer as a designer :)

I'd be interested in lending a hand. Feel free to shoot me a PM.

Interesting!
With a low budget NFP site, having pros on board to take the sites look and functionalies to the next level is something I can only dream about.

I would love to have assistance as the sites contents is my only forte.
My best recourse has been to try and keep things simple, but this has not been easy when covering complex issues, combined with a futuristic vision beyond what vB can presently offer and an audience requiring certain functionalities.

Extreme makeover? ... I am reminded of the saying ...
Be careful for what you wish ;)

You guys should definetly try this. It would be really nice to see all types of people who want to have things done on their board, but can't (for some reason or other). Either way, I really support this idea.

Im willing to put my coder/designer skills into work.

I like this idea very much. We will for sure look into the possibilities to work this out.
