Hi there

The Pull Request Challenge (PRC) is coming to an end on 31st Dec 2018. If you have not signed up to the challenge yet then this is your last chance to be a part of the glorious history of PRC. Just email neil@bowers.com, your github user name to get started. It would be great to end on high note. I would like to thank Neil Bowers for giving us the golden opportunity.
