Programming Contest: Efficient Editor Usage
Fred (a.k.a. The POTM-MASTER) writes "Anyone can write editors, but it's surprisingly hard to write a program to USE an editor. This latest Programming challenge asks you to write a program that will change one block of text into another using a simple set of 'vim-like' editor commands." (Find the details here.) "Deadline is May 31, 2005 so you've got plenty of time. The POTM is the 'Programmer Of The Month' contest - newly revived and active with about 1000 folks registered for the forums. It is completely for fun - unsponsored and prize-less except for the fame!" -

POTM Contest Lives Again
bababooey182 writes "The Programmer of the Month (POTM) contest series has returned. POTM was a fantastic programming contest series that ran from 1993 to 2000, and participants were greatly disappointed when it ended. Fred Hicinbothem, the brains and personality behind the POTM, brought it back a few months ago, and the POTM has the same community feel that it did back in the day. Here's to another long run. The current contest deadline is November 30th."
