:Excellent points. I was trying to come up with a more queued system of requesting tasks, along with trying to define to some extent what kinds of tasks are appropriate. I don't see punching holes in firewalls as an appropriate task; that's a network-operations kind of thing, not a means of demonstrating programming languages.
 
:When it comes to formatting tasks, I don't see a problem with creating tasks centered around formatting languages. However, such tasks should probably fall under their own category. The Programming Tasks category can use some subdividision.
 
:More specifically, "Rotate the output device" could easily be represented in many languages, when one takes DirectX and OpenGL into account. (And, quite frankly, I'd like to see more of that.) Rendering along a path, well, I dunno. Possibly PDF and GIMP Script-Fu? --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 22:35, 4 February 2007 (EST)
