I don't know much or even how I ended up tuning in on it - but of several of these sorts of initiatives I've heard about, Exercism looks like a good one. I haven't put any thought into exercises, but have been thinking about infrastructure. Here is some discussion about making a code exporter to be able to use the command line tool to interact with the server. https://github.com/exercism/pharo/issues/6#issuecomment-398346884 I've been looking at how the command line tool communicates with the server to determine how hard it would be too hard to write a Pharo direct interface to their server. I wasn't planning to share my experiments yet, but since it may be a while before I get a chance to extend it further, perhaps it interests someone... https://github.com/bencoman/pharogui-exercism cheers -ben
