			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a client, the forum you should be mostly worried about (outside of the copilot contest forum) is the Project forum.  The Project forum is where you&#8217;ll discuss high level questions with your copilot(s), and provide any information that will help the copilot facilitate more effective contests.  The Project forum is also where the copilot will escalate questions from the contestants that he cannot answer.  For this reason, we recommend putting a watch on the Project forum and let the copilot handle the Contest forums.</p>
<p>The Contest forum is where the contestants will ask questions about each specific contest in your project.  As your project progresses, you may have 2 or 3 contests running at the same time, the copilot will monitor all these forums and answer questions as they come in.  If there is a question he cannot answer, he will escalate the question to you in the Project forum.</p>
<p><strong>The Project Forum:</strong></p>
<p>The Project forum can be accessed from the <strong>Project Overview</strong> page by scrolling down until you see the section labeled &#8216;<strong>Project Forum</strong>.&#8217;  You can click on the discussion topic hyperlink that needs attention.  You&#8217;ll know there are new questions in the Project forum because the number listed under the column labeled <strong>T./M.</strong> will appear in bold.</p>

<p>If you are watching the forum, you&#8217;ll also receive an email which will alert you to new questions in the Project forum.</p>
<p><strong>The Contest Forums:</strong></p>
<p>The Contest forums can be accessed from the <strong>Project Overview</strong> page by scrolling down until you see the section labeled &#8216;<strong>Active Contest Health</strong>&#8216;</p>
