Desktop Integration Bounty Winners

[Benjamin Kahn <xkahn ximian com>]

Six weeks ago, we launched the bounty hunt contest to attract new
developers to the GNOME project, and generate momentum around
innovations in collaborative software. Interest has, to say the least,
been fantastic. The bounty hunt has inspired people to learn and try new
APIs, and brought both beginning and experienced coders into greater
contact with GNOME as a platform and as a community.  The GNOME
Foundation is therefore happy to award prizes totaling $7250 for
this portion of the contest.
