I'm not sure how it could be a service to the public, but redesigning GoDaddy seems like a great way to cut one's chops in IxD. It could be a great starter exercise for people just learning the craft. It wouldn't be a contest as such, but it could fossilize into a sort of "Hello World" pattern for beginner IxDers, where everyone starts with the same design problems. Obviously, it's a tough one, but it would be neat to see what kinds of solutions and ideas people put forth.
Might even be nice to have a showcase where IxD noobs can post their work and receive criticism. Great way to build the portfolio and connect with the community. "Yeah, i remember doing the GoDaddy redesign problem a few years back. Man that was tough."
