Markets were quiet on the U.S. Labor Day holiday, but the Odyssey community was focused on the next day's task. After days spent dealing with access and points failures, participants had a chance to propose a task most people could finish. The organizers now had to choose among their ideas.
Submissions for the community task closed at 9 a.m. Proposals had to relate to Xai or Final Form, be interesting, and be feasible for most participants. A selected idea would become the next day's task for everyone, with its proposer earning an additional 50 points.
