Every once in a while, a new challenge is issued to the script writers of #vim -- they are asked to help scratch someone elses itch. Currently, we have no prizes, judges or much else, but it is a work in progress. Try to have fun with it!
Scripts are judged for overall quality, not just speed or length. Being correct and functional of course does help. They are judged when we feel like it (generally a week or two after the challenge was posted) -- winners will be posted.
