* Duplication should be avoided. If two tasks are demonstrating the same language features, then one should be cut.
I think it would be fine to restrict our focus considering that there are [[Help:Similar Sites|other sites]], like Literate Programs, for showing off public code. --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 12:01, 24 December 2007 (MST)
 
Quite often the task descriptions are created with a particular set of languages (or a particular paradigm) in mind, and other languages may not map into it completely. I think it may be better to allow creation of new tasks, but filter/merge them where there is a redundancy to a more generic task at a later time. It is actually nicer to have a larger number of tasks because it allows new contributers a little more flexibility in choosing the tasks (but it becomes harder for languages to become complete).
