###What's this about

The idea is to learn a new technology, code something fun and share knowledge, opinions and experience. The scope is meant to be rather small. It's something one should be able to hack together in an evening of work.

You may put as little or as much work into this as you'd like, it is encouraged to extend what you're making beyond the official challenge and to add capabilities.

###Monthly Challenge of the JS room, November 2014.

The elected idea is the following:

KnockoutJS

Task: Use Knockout 3 and the SE API to create a form for searching SO question bodies and dynamically returning those that match a criteria. The questions returned should refresh once every minute. Question should be formatted nicely.

Extra points for slick UI and additional data processing and goodies. You may use a compile-to-js language if you'd like. The only requirement is to use KnockoutJS in your UI code.

###Getting Started

You are to use KnockoutJS and the Stack Exchange API. The Stack Exchange API. A good resource for learning Knockout is their awesome tutorial. There are no enforced coding standards. You may use any additional libraries you'd like.

###Submission

Submission of entries is done through pull requests to this repository. Make a pull request with a yourusername folder containing:

yourUserName
  - index.html  # opening this should run your submission
  - ... # any additional files required to run your submission

If your submission requires running server side code or other code prior to running it, nest the index.html file one level in a www folder.
