Interface for code challenges

[sethetter]

The interface for the code challenges section needs some love. Any ideas on how we can handle this?

Just a couple of things I think we need to do.

We need to provide some sort of informational paragraph explaining the point of the page, as well as a reminder that the submissions accept markdown.

Also, if we could come up with some nice syntax highlighting for any code snippets, or for the submitted answers, I think this would be great.

When making the reminder that challenges accept markdown please use the Markdown Mark somewhere.

I'm working on this now. Anyone have some suggestions for help text on the creation page? So far I have:

Use this form to create a new code challenge for the group. Try to make it challenging while still considering the skill level of others. These are meant to be fun and educational and a good way to practice our programming skills.

Also remember that the description accepts Markdown!

Thoughts? Additions?

So here's what I have so far on these pages. What do you guys think?

I also have the single submission view screen looking better.

Now I just need to decide on a way to handle the submission index view.

Any feedback on what I've shown so far?

Holy crap! That looks beautiful! Skills? You has them!

Glad you like it! I'll keep moving forward then.
