Think of the robochallenge as an excuse to post often :-)

Would there be any benefit to having the robochallenge post any of its
information here? I'm thinking, weekly summaries, start-of-month
reminders, and end-of-month results.

It will also give people something legitimate to piggyback on :-)

In the olden days (of 2003 ;-),

the person who ran the challenge that has been replaced by the
robo-challenge would do a start of month signup post, and end of month
result request post, and I think some kind of post that summarized.

I don't know if all that is neccessary, but a start-of-month and an
end-of-month would be cool, IMHO.

So far, others have managed that for me :-)

I'll add it to my to do list, but at the moment it's nowhere near the
top :-P
