weekly programming contest

so i thought since /prog/ is filled right now with non programming related bullcrap. how about we discuss about a official weekly /prog/ programming contest. we could make one each week. we could discuss a debate on the subject 2 days before the assignment.

it would really increase quality posts and programming related subjects, and add some posts here because it seems a bit lame here. also the nonprograming related bullshit i think might exsist because of boredom and we all know how bad boredom is.

discuss. NOW!!!

While I am always in favour of actual coding threads, I have several concerns.
1. Like the `game ideas' threads, these contest idea threads end up being all talk and no walk. If you have a contest idea post it and see if it takes off.
2. If give something a week timeline, it will be forgotten. People will procrastinate and never actually code up a solution, or the thread will leave the front page with half a dozen posts. A shorter timeline is more likely to work.
