===Task creation difficulties===
Not knowing the terminology behind the problem, it's difficult for me to write a task in order to get an illustration of it. Not knowing how to do it in the first place, it's vastly more difficult to write a task; I can't write any seed examples, and I can't explain what I'm looking for. In fact, this is now the ''chief'' reason I don't write tasks any more. Anything I want to do, but don't know how, I don't know how to ask.
: As it turns out, from my own experience and from watching successful and unsuccessful attempts by others, the solution appears to be "create the task, and work in good faith with the people attempting to get clarification so they can implement it properly." --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 15:24, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 
===Entry-level===
Rosetta Code has a significant problem, right now, in things not being easy to find or learn coming from a limited knowledge base. I wanted to learn about generators late last week, and wanted to use a comparison of Python and Perl 6 in order to understand the core concept--and I didn't know how to find them on RC. I had to ask in the IRC channel in order to find what I was looking for. Now, I'm not a newbie to programming, but I'm certainly a novice in a large number of language idioms.
