Hi,

We are still brainstorming research ideas.

This is one of the crazier ones.  

Is there some way in which we can make programming a spectator sport?

As a concrete example, how would you build an automated system for
picking out the most exciting KDE development highlights to present to
a non-technical audience?  And how would you present those highlights
in an exciting and compelling way?

I suspect that we would need to focus on people, not just their code. 
After all, everyone loves a good fight!

Although this research topic might sound ridiculous, I think it is
actually important.  As you may know, enrollment in computer science
is declining.  We need some way to get the general public excited
about computers again.
