project idea

Once I get my new blog up and running, I'll need some projects to work on. I just thought of one decent idea:

A collaborative wiki with a focus on exchanging notes.

Feature-wise, it shouldn't require more than what's available in most other wikis. The significant additions will be in the organizational structure of the wiki.

Too Many Languages

There are way too many programming languages out there. Even if I narrow them down to one or two in a given paradigm there are too many.

Array-based: J
Graphics-based: Processing
Dynamic Scripting: Python
Functional: Haskell / O'Caml
Concurrent: Erlang (or maybe LFE?)
Web: PHP
