How the website was won

Those of you who have visited the website would have noted the clean & nifty interface. I especially like the little tabs that let you navigate to the content instead of scrolling endlessly. However, till last week we hardly had anything up. Along with lack of volunteer time, things seemed to have got stuck because of some design approach differences. Everyone knew that it was absolutely imperative that the site be up before we even uttered the word ACE in public. Finally, thanks to "kind" words of motivation from some of the folks & the amazing efforts of the web team, the site was up & ready. Things are still changing though. Adding a sponsor here, a media partner there still keeps the team on its toes.
For history buffs here is the 2007 website.

Welcome to the Phase Forward ACE 2008 quiz blog!

Phase Forward ACE 2008 is Asha Hyderbad’s annual fund-raising Corporate Quiz, a battle among the best brains from Hyderabad’s corporate houses. Asha Hyderabad is delighted to partner with Phase Forward and the Indian School of Business (ISB) to bring this premier quizzing event to the people of Hyderabad. The quiz will be conducted by Quizerati, a leading group of quizmasters.
The proceeds from the 2008 edition of ACE will go primarily for the mid-day meal programme at the
Ramakrishna Upper Primary School (RUPS) and also to other projects supported by Asha Hyderabad.

This blog is your window into the "behind the scenes" activities. Along with participation updates, you will also get a chance to meet & hear from the tireless folks who are making the event happen. We may also go down memory lane to visit past quizzes. So here we go....
