A good way to do this is to align it with Advent of Code 2018.

AoC is actually full of interesting challenges and one can do private leaderboards.

This will also put Pharo on the AoC map/subreddit where challenges are discussed.

Some of you may already be aware of my presentation at Smalltalks 2018, the outcome of which was full funding for my Smalltalk programming competition. See��My Keynote at the Salta Conference.

Three years ago, David Buck provided an outline for the competition. See attached.

I would like to use that as a starting point, though I am open to alternative suggestions.

The reason for this post is the following...

I need volunteers to code the competition. I am nowhere near qualified to do so, as my knowledge of Pharo is��limited.

Without help from Pharoers (or, at least, Smalltalkers), the competition is in jeopardy. This is a great opportunity to promote Pharo. (The original competition three years ago was going to use VisualWorks, but since Cincom did not see fit to support my competition this year, I decided to go with Pharo.)

Please contact me if anyone is interested. It would be a terrible shame to waste this opportunity.
