Noob Coders Challenge?

[leefish]

Just today I got a lot of help from Zinga and Rateu on a plug in I wanted for my forum. I was looking at the codes as posted and provided by Zinga and Rateu and I think I worked out what most of it was doing (I am getting the idea now). I was going to post in the thread to ask a few more questions, when I thought of this idea.

Why not have a challenge to to some of us new guys to make a plugin that can be used with myBB and ideally with Xthreads?

The thing is, I can think of lots of things I want, but they are often too big for me to do with my noob skills. So, how about Zinga or Rateu setting us a challenge to make a plugin to perform a certain task? I think that they are able to find us something that is not too hard, but still a challenge. That way we can have a go at a specific thing, learn as we go from each other, and we will wind up with a new plug in.

What do you think of the idea?
