[Tutor] [Edu-sig] collection of ACM programming problems (fwd)

[R. A.]

My thoughts on the hazards of starting up a potentially high-maintenance
Python code collection?  Bring it on!  Here's why:

1. The Python community benefits from published code, and people
considering Python will be attracted by repositories of code.

2. I'm loosely planning on adding some CGI to allow people to upload
their own code and have the pages and links generated more-or-less
automatically.

3. Server space on my Python-friendly web host is not a factor for me.

4. My kitten likes to sit in my lap and watch the monitor.

5. Everybody seems to be having fun.
