/prog/ 2012 challenge

Brothers and sisters,

As the end of the year comes closer, and we reflect on what has happened on /prog/ this last year, we have to admit that we did not accomplish very much. Perhaps in our private lives, yes, but here on /prog/ we have spent the majority of the year trolling, meta-trolling, complaining about it and going nowhere in particular. If we look at our community I'm going to say we have very little to be proud of: /prog/ kinda sucks.

I say we change all that. I say in 2012 we band together and prove that /prog/ is better than it has ever been before just by making it so. That we can come to /prog/ with an expectation of lulz and wisdom. I'm willing to make the effort, who's with me?

ITT post your new years resolutions for /prog/, I'll start:

* If I have nothing substantial to say I will sage it.

/prague/ can't keep one thread on-topic, let alone a fucking book on programming. Here's how the collaboration would begin: ''OK guize, what language do we use to teach?"

Incidentally, this is also where the collaboration breaks down and it devolves into just another flamefest. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental and people "serious" enough to get coordinated for a collab project wouldn't let it derail so easily. The book seems like it would suffer from the "bikeshed" problem, where every asshole on here has an uninformed opinion about what belongs in it. It'd really require a benevolent dictator/cabal to run well.

I'm more keen on the game idea, especially as a vehicle for original content. I don't know how many chantards would want to install something from a chan on their computers, so I guess it'd have to be web-based, which might turn a lot of [spoiler]/prog/[spoiler]riders off. Not sure, other thoughts besides me and David here?
