The winner, Senko, was initially unreachable. He has since contacted us and declined the winnings. In the future, we may hold another contest with rules for scenarios like this. We still want to get the grouping feature released, but at this time, there are other priorities that we are working on.

So what happened about this. The deadline was weeks ago, and there’s been no additional information. It would be nice to know that someone actually won something.

Whatever happened to this, I put in a submission well before the deadline, but I haven’t heard anything back and there’s been no comments on here about what’s happening.

…Missed this one by 8 days, too bad I bet I could have done it too.

@Joel,

If I get you right, url’s with the same domain name need to be grouped together (also group them hierarchically based on the folder structure of the url). I don’t understand your comment about it being self-learning?!

@Shivanand,

Yes you may. The contest is still open for submissions until July 1st.

Ideally, the solution provided will require very little work to keep it running smoothly. Ideally if you want to create a system that learns over time, it should be self learning.

I am sure that over time we will need to make changes, but hopefully not.

I will email you the email address to submit your code to.

Hey, I know I am late to the party, but was just curious if I can still submit to this contest. Also, would you require a rules engine like behaviour, (i.e ) will you need to make changes to aggregation rules as your service grows?

If I can still sumbit, to send me details on how to send the code in. (http://twitter.com/shiva)

@Joel: thanks for the info. As the sample data doesn’t have URL data, I couldn’t test it out, but I do have a partial solution, so please send me the details as to where to send it.
