Process
Started with a phone interview that was half technical, half non-technical. A lot of the questions focused on open-source or wiki contributions; it's important to them. The rest of the interview was about getting to know me better, my skills, and interest in the company.
It was followed up with a code challenge.
Overall experience was good. The interviewer was very professional and helpful, but there was no feedback on my performance on the coding challenge.
Questions
The code challenge was to take a JSON (they provided) and use it to build a forum-like page using the data.
