Well a full-blown application could take all of 15 minutes assuming the requirements were simple enough, so I don't think it is deciding to build an application that is a problem. IMHO, the idea would be to create a very simple application that adheres to very specific requirements that are generally seen in CF applications. I can come up with a list from my own perspective, but I would think that I am biased in that regard. Thus, I think the best idea would be for everyone to try and come up with a list of common things they do in their applications allowing us to hopefully make a list of requirements that is both easily obtainable as well as applicable to the general CFer. I'm thinking things like interactive forms and database manipulation are pretty common.
