Wow. Thanks for the update! Now I see its possible..

I imagine after the first 3 or 4 tasks you get in the groove...

8 isn't all that many for third and 28 for first-

I think thats what people needed- just a quick note to show how many are NOT doing tasks and how 'few' tasks get you in the money...

I'm going to claim some tasks now- See you in the winners circle!

Wow @RobBrown did 28 tasks! I'll have to work harder if I ever want to catch up. Maybe I should skip sleeping......

It's nice to see that there are a so many people who claim and submit taks
Nice job people :-)

Let's see how long it will take us to complete the other 150 tasks

P.S. Will there be new tasks or are these all the tasks?

Whohoo! I doubt that I'll end up in first place, but I sure hope to place in the top 3!

When will the contest be over?

Has there / will there be a date set

or

Will the contest go until all 250 Barnraising tasks are completed?

or something else?

@lons says we're going to go until we hit 250 pages completed.... my guess is that would take until Monday or Tuesday.

Oh... that's what he meant! Sorry - at second glance, it's perfectly clear.

Just how long does it take you to complete a task Rob?

Have you developed skills whereby you play with the kids with one hand while writing web pages with another!?!? :)

It actually hasn't been taking me very long to complete the notes. I've refined my process out now.

This is amazing! what an excellent start people are off too..... keep in mind that each of these items has M$2 attached to them as well.

So, Rob has M$56, @arjo has M$34 and @demanda has M$16 in addition to the possibility of the three prizes!

M$200 for 1st
M$100 for 2nd
M$50 for 3rd

Wow...I am surprised I am number 3 right now! I haven't had much time this week to devote to doing tasks, and I'll be out of town this weekend. =( Hopefully, I'll have more time to spare during Barn Raising 2.0! I'm going to go do a few tasks right now though. I may tackle some more of those Adult Content ones that everyone's avoiding. hah!

I'm not personally a fan of the adult content ones, though there's got to be someone who is. Not sure I want my online footprint on some porn, you know?

No, it's not like someone googling me will see that I did tasks about adult websites. And just because you do the task doesn't mean you become the page's manager. That's optional.

I agree with you Demanda on the Adult pages... I'd pick them up too. But, the real information will be hard to uncover. I don't think that a lot of folks in Adult use their real names or even display an alias on a website let alone provide information on the history of the site / business.

I've completed 2 pages that border on adult... one was pretty easy and the second was my thinnest entry yet with the least amount of information. I didn't feel good about it and not because of the moral implications but because I couldn't provide detailed information.

So robbrown has done more than 25% of the tasks so far! Way to go - he's putting up his side of the barn without much help from any of the rest of us!

I'm hoping I'm not fourth place when the final tally comes out! Top 3 or somewhere in the lower half of the pack would make it easier to take!

And with the remaining 150 tasks - is there a schedule on how they are released? Or have most of them been claimed, but just not completed, and will only show up as they either expire (72 hours) or the person that claimed the task releases it back? I've seen a few that have been relesaed back, so I'm guessing they have all been claimed, just not completed.
