Opera India

• Mission: Xtreme "Open the Web"
• Target: Open 50 websites
• Team: 8 members of the Opera India team (well, 6 and a half actually .. Sigbjorn and Anil were busy with other things ... )
• Time alloted: 4 days
• Time taken: 2 days

Last week the complete Opera India team took upon themselves a task of going all "gung-ho" about fixing web sites. We would be working 24/7 for the next 4 days. We started at 8 in the morning, finishing at 8 in the evening. This kind of a task is usually an "Open the Web" department responsibilty, but this week all joined hands. We set up a target of 50 websites, in 4 days. We completed it in 2 days

As you can see, we set up an ad-hoc xtreme workplace, and went full throttle. After completing, the task, we were still high on the adrenaline and went on for an "xtreme widget-dev" mania. I think Sagar had too much of the sugar coated candy (supplied by Vivek) and went on to make 8 widgets in 2 days !!!!

Feels good now. 50 better websites out there (I know its a long way we have to go though)
