Sounds good to me...just wanna try to clarify a few things.
There are no teachers, just sort of like a forum where everyone can help right?
Will there be examples or walkthroughs for the project or is it all on your own?
This encompasses what programming languages, any that people wanna do?

I always stop learning a language because I know I can do a script better, easier and faster in another.

No examples are needed, you can just look at previous peoples code for it which should be categorised into languages and shown openly. Walkthroughs defeat the purpose.

Pseudo code may be a good idea but is possibly not even needed. Programmers generally have a textual requirement when it comes to writing something so a description may be all that is needed. The help that people are looking for that you are refering to is sometimes for an educational institution so people could use their assigments as one of these tasks (I don't encourage people to post assignments and wait for people to complete them, maybe wait until after you have handed it in to post).

I see where the idea comes from Grind, but I disagree when you say it is meant for a new language. You're assuming that the task is going to be easy enough that you could simply accomplish it in a language you already know. Obviously we have to start the tasks small, but they could end up being super complex. You can always learn new things.

I really want to see this implemented because it would be really great. I know I would try the tasks for as many languages as possible. It would be great for everyone wanting to program and expand what they know.

I didn't think of allowing users to submit their own project (for school) just get a general idea. I'm assuming that it will be easy enough because like I said, the tasks will get progressively harder as you go (so if you start with one language, you SHOULD keep going with it until the end.)

@swift - I've started learning python. It's really nice. Their website has loads of helpful information.

Well, if you are looking to expand your website or if you're building a new website.. If I was you.. I would learn jQuery.. well, not really much to learn but to use it.. so many plug-ins and gives your website a 2.0 feel.. trust me. My website has so many jQuery tools.. tabs, rating system.. comments.. heck, I even have an ajax "add to cart" feature. SO, SO, SO, sexy. {if you haven't guessed I am building a shopping cart.} but I started learning ajax when I played with javascript library's.

Check out: http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/ which is NICE..

PLUS! it has so many plugins.. :D

Prototype wtf!

I like jQuery, nothing against it

I don't know if we should do it class-like based, meaning we can't move on until everyone finished it. We may all not be in the same level and have free time to accomplish it.

However, I like the idea of getting a group of people to pick a language and everyone will work with it. Then we can help each other as well as show our code.

I like where this is going.

well how about this: for all the people wanting to learn C, we could make teams to develop a zish (Zero Identity Shell) for Linux. Every team will develop a feature of the shell. For example the zils (like bash ls command), zicd (like bash cd command). Also another team will make the bash itself and its features. All you need to know is how process creation works and how linux handles files... I hope I get some time to write the next part (process creation) of the C tutorial I'm writing.



Also pretty good idea
