      `In January 2008, a few members of <a href="http://hoffmantown.org" title="Hoffmantown Church">Hoffmantown
      Church</a> in Albuquerque, New Mexico had an idea. The ABC show
      <em><a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/extreme-makeover-home-edition">Extreme Makeover: Home Edition</a></em> had
      just done
      <a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/extreme-makeover-home-edition/episode-detail/martinez-family/224884" title="Martinez Family &bull; Extreme Makeover: Home Edition">a
      build for a pastor in the &ldquo;war zone&rdquo; area of town</a>, and this brought attention to Gerald Martinez
      and the work he had done to help clean up this area of town. Through
      <a href="http://www.loveincabq.org/" title="Love INC of South Albuquerque">Love INC of South Albuquerque</a>, they
      learned that there were many other homes in that area that could use the &ldquo;Ty Pennington touch.&rdquo; While
      the goal was not to knock down homes and build new ones, the goal was no less extreme. The goal of the &ldquo;Not
      So Extreme Makeover: Community Edition&rdquo; was to help 50 families in 5 days during spring break week in 2008.
      From an idea in January to 57 families helped by March 29th, it was an amazing whirlwind.`

                   up the public website quickly using WordPress, which also allowed the coordinators to put content up.
                   We next began developing an application (NSXapp) where volunteers could sign up for &ldquo;X
                   Week&rdquo;, with over 80 different skill, talent, and ability categories. We then created a way to
                   identify families and their needs, and a place for people with donations to let us know what they
                   would be. From there, we created the ability to begin matching needs with goods (stuff) and abilities
                   (people), organizing the stuff into donated trailers and people into teams. During X Week, we
                   generated schedules and reports that were used to track the execution of the project.<br><br>
