This is a great idea.

It reminds me of daf yomi in studying talmud, "a page a day".

A page a day is barely a burden, yet in 3 years you can have thoroughly read Misner's Gravitation, Programming Erlang 3 times over, and any number of grad-level textbooks. In 1 year, you will have read a good-sized textbook at almost no perceptible time cost, and with very high comprehension.

If he can give this a 43things style UI with publicly stated goals, integrate it with book lists and codebase repos worked on, it could be amazing.



@pook Hope this means you're in…? I'm going to start on it for a redesign of my site, but with one change. I'm doing 15 minutes a day (105 a week).


I'm joining, definitely.

I just started my own similar project: One Month Codebase http://zipwith.blogspot.com/search/label/one%20month%20codeb...

The idea for my project is to focus exclusively on a single codebase to study, experiment with, and contribute to, each month. And write it up in such a way that those who haven't yet gotten the courage to jump in, can try their own hand at contributing to OSS.
