I'm sorry, that was a run on sentence.
The big picture goal I'd like to see is that the package
manager, or even a tutorial author for some topic, just take
the choice away.
Sure, you can ignore its recommendation and look down the list,
but it would be nice if you didn't have to; if there was one
solid way to do what they want that is easy to find. End
analysis paralysis.
Like on Amazon, where there's hundreds of options, but there's
one with the five stars listed as #1 best seller at the top of
the list, it is nice to stop evaluation and just hit buy. It
kinda sucks to be the new competitor when the system is
promoting the existing #1.... but meh.
You also want to avoid cheating the system and manipulating the
results, by either established slumlords or new guys wanting a
leg up.
If the student can solve the design problem, the implementation
might be easy. idk how Google would feel about trivial code
with painful design, but that's the way a lot of software work
is in the real world sooo I feel it is an applicable project.
I've been trying to find something on this, but haven't yet, but
I am not sure if website work would be considered appropriate. I
know pure documentation is not acceptable, and seem to think the
websites might fall in the same category - but I am not sure. I
will keep looking.
