Apps for development | Competition by the World Bank (appsfordevelopment.challengepost.com) 3 points by fwez 16y ago ↗ HN
[–] thefreshteapot 16y ago ↗ First prize being $15,000 US DOLLARS, to me seems very low for creating an "app to help developing countries".Is this competition more a gimmick than a desire? [–] fwez 16y ago ↗ I agree. Only motivation to do this would be notoriety/prestige. I think it may be also a way to push for people to use the WB data sets.
