Our new SDK makes it easier and faster to develop powerful, custom integrations with VersionOne.
The SDK also makes it possible to build really cool gadgets that will ultimately make the VersionOne user experience better. Members of the VersionOne development team have built their own gadgets using the SDK to provide examples of what is possible. These sample gadgets are packaged with the SDK zip file and some are outlined below. Some of the existing are also listed.
The self-serving reason we are putting on this contest is to get feedback from our community about the SDK. We strongly encourage feedback from users of the SDK and will follow up with entrants to see how the experience was. (Don't worry -- a development team member will follow up, not a sales person)
The Details []: (It's really pretty simple)
1. Download the SDK and any of the current Integrations from the Platform SDK section of
 the VersionOne Community Site
The SDK includes:
• documentation
• reference/sample integrations
• APIClient (java & C#) and Object Model (C#) libraries
• source code
• Documentation on our current open-source integrations and the integration framework is here
2. Develop your own gadget to work with VersionOne with the following requirements:
• create a zip file that contains the build file, source code and description
• all submissions <-- begin Different From 1st Contest-->will NOT be redistributed - unlike our first contest, you can now submit IP protected gadgets and integrations for us to check out and vote on. We will announce and talk about them but you won't get fired for sharing them with us... well, we won't share them unless you say it's OK. That way, if you get fired, it's probably just because you're a kook and people don't like you.<-- end Different From 1st Contest-->
3. Email your gadget zip file to: sdkcontest@versionone.com before June 15th, 2008..
4. Join the VersionOne Developer User Group (here) to participate in fun and games.
The Grand Prize: Unending fame and respect... and a $1000.00 Amazon Gift Card.
Everybody Gets: A super limted edition, ultra-rare, sell it on e-bay and quit your job
"VersionOne Super Villain" T-Shirt.

(V1 employees excluded from contest)
Sample/Reference Integrations available:
- Bugzilla Integration
- Eclipse Plugin
- Fit Integration
- Jira Integration
- Subversion Integration
- V1: Service Host
- V1: Requestor
- Visual Studio Add-In
Sample Gadgets Included in the SDK:
- Task Manager: A task tray utility that allows users to view, update, change ownership and close tasks, tests, defects and stories within VersionOne, saving time by eliminating the need to log into the application.
- Estimator Tool: Many agile development teams use the practice of relative estimation. The tool supports relative estimation by allowing users to easily divide items or features into a small number of groupings and quickly apply the same estimated value to all items in each group, accelerating the planning process while removing unnecessary complexity.
- Screenshot Tool: Helps a user capture a screenshot and directly attach the image to an item within VersionOne, without having to first save to disk.
- Attachment Tool: Permits users to easily attach a file to any asset in VersionOne including stories, defects, tasks, or tests.
- SVN Workitem Tool: Helps users add workitem IDs via drag-and drop into the TortoiseSVN, an easy-to-use interface to subversion, virtually eliminating errors when cross-referencing source code check-ins to the associated task or defect in VersionOne.
