  I think it's a great idea to have a contest about creating bots. Bots are growing very popular, and a contest like this is a great way to show off what messenger can do. The criteria are very acceptable too, especially integrating activities would be a lot of fun.

However in the MSDN documentation the example for both newPost and editPost methods have the type (struct) as a direct child of param. I believe the correct sequence to be <param><value><struct> not <param><struct>. Additionaly on the same me ...Show All
