As the 2009 GitHub Contest nears its conclusion, participants are reminded to submit their source code within the final 48-hour window. Contest organizer Scott Chacon encourages entrants to enhance their README files with detailed descriptions and approaches, even if their projects did not achieve top rankings, to facilitate an overview of the submissions. Chacon acknowledges imperfections in the dataset provided, noting that many participants gained an advantage by adding the parents of forked repositories. Despite this, he expresses a desire to understand the broader algorithms used by participants that could be applicable to any dataset or website. Chacon highlights Jeremy Barnes' entry as a standout example of transparency and excellence, and he invites contestants to share their experiences and successes for public acknowledgment and code sharing.
