I looks like a good idea on the face of it. We have to make sure,
however, that the nature of the problem invites multiple solutions.
For instance, a particular sponsor may have a problem that all of us
may choose to solve in Perl, because is the nature of the problem.

It's got to remain something that a multi-language/platform approach
is possible. Who knows, mayber Windows might be could for something
after all besides the dung heap. I know, I know. Mea cupla, mea
maxima culpa.

So, I think that we need to have a set of critera on the nature of
the problem as well as the nature of the solution.

Also, let's make sure we keep it fun. Don't take ourselves too
seriously.
