I like the idea of a contest to determine the best ways to

various languages.
The Language Shootout is probably not the best forum, since they
require the same algorithm, which defeats the purpose of comparing
languages which tend to do different things well by design; a good
programmer/advocate would play to the strengths of each language.
The Language shootout has a class of "contests" which do not require
the same algorithm, i.e.

The Alioth site is centrally administrated, so the bureaucracy to add
a task is formidable. On the other hand, they've just added a
multicore test platform and already have a performance measuring
framework.
Might I suggest again the Rosetta Code wiki at http://
www.rosettacode.org/? Anyone can contribute at any time, since it's
uses MediaWiki, like Wikipedia. They have active participants for
many compiled languages, and have just been discussing adding a
"game" category. I would especially like to see what the J and
Haskell folks make of this task. For a larger project like this, they
recommend making a single task page with a sub page for each language
(like RCBF).
