The same guy (or gal) who submits the task. It's not a perfect system, but the idea of a perfect system is a myth. Having the submiter pick the difficulty is sensible, relatively simple, and accurate enough to be useful. > Interesting.... > > Right now, each todo is associated with a proejct.

The problem is that the page is overwhelming. If I go in saying "I know Python and I think I'll try a medium difficulty problem" I'll be lost. Try to put yourself in the shoes of a potential developer comming in. What are you looking for? You *might* have your heart set on a specific project. But you might also be interested in finding a project that you feel capable of doing. That includes time commitment, it includes difficulty level, and it includes using skills you possess. > If so, might it make sense to group them according to technology or area > of focus? No single grouping would really meet all, or even most, of what a potential developer wants. Evaluating a task to try out is not that straight forward, there are several variables. That's why I think a filtering system would work best. The Javascript and HTML for this can't be too complicated, can it? It would do essentially the same thing that Matthew's HomePage mockup did. You know how it hides and unhides content? We can use that same JS script for this, with some modifications.
