As part of promotion of [[TheAPIBook]] and also celebration of ten anniversary of [[NetBeans]] releases, we decided to play again the game described in Chapter 17, [[Using Games to Improve API Design Skills]]. The participants included primarily members of [http://java.cz/detail.do?articleId=2252 Czech JUG] extended with few worldwide participants who wanted to play and wished to celebrate with us.

There will be few rounds of the competition, during which the participants are supposed to solve tasks given to them in timely manner and send their results to the API Fest 08 [mailto:apifest08@apidesign.org mailing list]. The whole competition will use rules like those of [http://openide.netbeans.org/tutorial/api-fest.html API Fest One].

The project is currently not compilable (you need to make the Convertor class public somehow), compile it, compile its tests and execute the tests so they pass without a failure.
