::::I strongly recommend you get a feel for the task creation "process", such as it is; I noticed you have domains of interest that we don't have strong task coverage in. Apart from that, code review and linting of existing code is a useful contribution, as well. (You could also learn another language... :) ) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 02:02, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
:::::I think the site could use a few more games or simple graphics demos as tasks, because too many of the current tasks are heavily geared towards language features such as recursion, complex data structures and such. Of course it's impressive when all you have to do is import the appropriate module in Python to solve a task in [[N-queens_problem#Python|about 3 lines of code]], but then it's not really comparing languages but standard libraries. Not that doing the latter is wrong; I absolutely love Python for its extensive standard library, but I'd like to see more tasks that are more equally within reach of powerful present-day and older languages. --[[User:Morn|Morn]] 11:34, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
::::::[[Remote Agent]] is another game-type task that's incubating at the moment. As for graphic demos--I wholly agree. I'll note, though, that examples aren't limited to using the "standard library"; third-party and commercial libraries are also perfectly acceptable. (It's an unrealized goal of mine for RC to touch on comparing solving problems with different libraries, as it does with different languages.) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 14:42, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
