FIRST Scoring Program
If you remember last year I started a very controversial thread on the FIRST scoring software. There was an error in it which caused an eligeble team to be displayed inelligeble on the big screen. FIRST volunteers scrambled to fix it as fast as they could. In the end it was determined that it was a bug not discovered during beta testing. The thread concludes with myself offering to help beta test this years software.

What do you think about FIRST releasing the scoring programs on Sourceforge or something for all to look at and analyze? If we take the open source model, (ala Liunux) and apply it to the scoring programs we could have many more programmers help the volunteers at FIRST.
