Project: A website containing programming projects accompanied by explanations, unit tests and etc.. (a la tutorials) to help beginners to get off the ground quickly.
Audience: It is aimed at learners who already know the syntax of a language, but are unsure/unable to start a project of their own.
I'd love to see some collaborative projects like this - idiomatic/recommended setups of editing/debug/release, as well as approach to coding.
I notice that Python is still absent from the "How I start"-series - something like https://github.com/pypa/sampleproject might form part of a starting point (also the Flask "flaskr" tutorial sets up a bare-bones python package, but needs minor adjustments for windows, as I've noticed using it for a small course on web programming - I'll have to find the time to file an issue and patch).
The great thing about such projects being open to contribution, is that aside from the bike-shedding, one of the best ways to get a correct answer to a problem quickly, is to post the wrong answer on the Internet.
