I'm ok with this idea, to have a PM specific weekly/bi-weekly/monthly test/quiz etc.

Since I've read this post, a few ideas have been circling in my head as to the format and what the tests would entail, but maybe we could just have random monks post something that makes sense to them, and run with that? Even if it's just picking one of their favourite distributions that has active authors, throw it out, and have people update/fix docs, issues etc.

Since you've brought it up, can you concoct something for us for the first example?

If it takes off, maybe we can see about getting a new dedicated section for it.

Just my initial thoughts.
