:: I really don't know. I can think of arguments either way, as usual. However, I'll ping this page out on the twitter and Facebook accounts; we might conceivably get more input that way. Could also set up things like Doodle and Facebook polls. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 14:07, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
::: Concerning people not adding solutions to ''draft tasks'': One reason (for newbies) is that they might not know about draft tasks; I know I didn't for some time. Another observation I've noticed is that, once a draft task becomes a (full) task, then people start to add solutions. Another reason is that (I for one) hate to spent time and effort in adding solutions to draft tasks and then have the draft task deleted without so much as a how-do-you-do. Another concern is that some tasks really push the practical limits of executing a computer program that runs a long time before results are generated (or found). Not everyone has a super-fast PC or a PC with a large amount of real storage. There hasn't been a large number of these, but they have been becoming more frequent. It used to be that these types of solutions were for "stretch goals", but they seem to have been more common as of late, and I don't like to implement a solution that doesn't meet the primary requirements (least it gets flagged as not meeting the task's requirements). The last time I discussed/talked about the difficulty in meeting a requirement (even after the author himself asked if the goal was a bridge-too-far), my thoughts on the matter were rebuked, so that approach didn't get very far. So I suggest, ask for achievable results such that it is solvable for almost any computer programming language. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:14, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
