May's Contributor of the Month Honors

Forum Nokia honors one member every month for their outstanding contribution to our community’s Wiki. The winner for May was Mayankkedia who has contributed several code examples to the Forum Nokia Wiki.

Most months a Forum Nokia member that contributes high quality new articles or major edits is named the Contributor of the Month and is awarded a Nokia Multimedia device for his/her contribution to the developer’s community.

You too can be a Contributor of the Month by simply contributing useful articles, example codes, tutorials, or by significantly shaping up the already existing ones. If you have significant edits to the existing pages then please bring these to my attention. Articles are judged first and foremost by the quality, value and appearance of the article and code so even one very good article can win.
