Exercism and raising Kixtart's profile

Exercism.org is a place where programmers can go to get better. The blurb on the front page includes "Solve coding exercises and get mentored to develop fluency in your chosen programming languages. Exercism is open-source and not-for-profit."

I've recently launched a learning track for 8th, a FORTH dialect. It took me a while but I was working mostly alone. I had a considerably larger team around me for the COBOL track.

There could be a Kixtart track. It's not hard, the community is helpful and the admin support is outstanding. The requirements are well described.

I am NOT volunteering to lead. I'm still working on a Euphoria track, and if that doesn't kill me, I'll follow with SNOBOL4. And I've got folk wanting help with tracks for REXX, PowerShell and ... umm ... Windows CMD.

This is only a suggestion. Maybe you don't want Kixtart's head to appear above the parapets and prefer a slow decline into obscurity, senescence and death.

Hahaha, it certainly does seem to go that way... declining into obscuritym senescence and death.
Although from a preservation standpoint, I suppose it could serve its purpose.
But then again, that's why this forum is still here.
Code along with it's history is typically found here.
