	The challenges will be divided into Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels based on the difficulty and level of thinking required for a topic.		The challenges will be divided into Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels based on the difficulty and level of thinking required for a topic.
			The speciality of these challenges will be that the user will know when to stop tweaking. The challenge will be from a spectrum of categories with each challenge giving the student a gist of problem solving skills that is required in programming. (Bug Fixing, Coding from scratch, Tweaking the code) The trick here is that the learner on solving the challenges will get the idea of the concepts inside out.

	Well, nothing much really but I think there aren't many interactive HTML/CSS tutorials available for beginners so this project would really serve its purpose. I won't be having any commitments during the summer so this project will be my top priority. I would have my academic activities beginning from first week of August but that won't be a problem since I will be able to devote 10-12 hours a day to the project.

	The HTML and the CSS to be used for creating the challenges will be HTML5 and ~~CSS5~~ compatible with the latest version of webkit supported by the XO. I will be using the CodeMirror API for providing layout to the code (such as line numbers, identation,etc). For the Gallery feature the model of deployment suggests that the school will have a server with about 1 TB or so of space where children can upload their creations in a compressed format which will then be replaced by a new uncompressed folder. This is relatively straightforward since the school server has Apache and in Apache we just need to create a folder and give it a url (e.g. http://schoolserver/school/username (where the directory is given the name of the school and username is the XO nickname).

	'''What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is from May 19 - August 22; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (~~27 June~~); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.'''

	Well, no organization has ever been succesful without team effort. No man has been succesful who has tried to do everything all by himself, that's what friends, comrades and co-workers are for. If I get stuck I will try to find the solution of the problem by myself if I think that it is an easy problem and I should be knowing this. If not, then #sugar channel has plenty of helpful people who care for your work and always have a valuable feedback to give. My problem should be solved by now but if all else fails I will try diverting my mind to something different for some time and work on something else and then come back to this problem. Besides books always have everything to offer. So I'll not give up trying to solve the problem. My College also has loads of helpful people and there's also an Open Source community here so I could also get help from them.		Well, no organization has ever been succesful without team effort.
