The required work consists of little more than producing a 220x220 Scala advertising image and posting it at the proper (time-wise) thread tagged open-source-advertising on meta.stackoverflow.com (http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/open-source-advertising ). The exact details can be found in that post (presently, http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/31913/open-source-advertising-sidebar-1h-2010 ). Note that this is not intended as an advertisement of the product, but as an advertisement of the project. The intent is getting people to contribute, not to get people to use. -- Daniel C.
