Great idea on the contest - many students are facing beaucoup financial hardship, and this gives them hope. Honestly, a few students are working mostly on contests as classes start. And if digidorm can resist the decline in quality like hacker news, that is good news. We very badly need real world tools for students as they try and hack their way to a degree, so please keep thefocus on using digidorm to give students the tools and contexts to understand Higher Ed so that they might transform it....And the point below about whittling down your pitch is spot on.
