i've got mixed feelings about programming contests in general, as they're often not too purposeful- they're often built around old, well understood problems, robot games, etc.

i was thinking more along the lines of a contest for innovation. something like the contest google held several months ago.

do you think there is a demand for this kind of thing, or
would established adult businesses see this as dangerous chaos and want nothing to do with it?

i just think it would interesting if there were a collective idea pool for areas that could use some development

companies could offer prizes for innovation in specific areas they believe would benefit them

and maybe there would be overarching categorical prizes

just a thought...
