I asked a few days ago if anyone wanted to get together to learn python while creating a useful app in this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=483065)thread, and I've already received a lot of support. We're still trying to decide on what program to make, however. Our latest idea is this: a tutorial creator.
A GUI Python program that is made for creating and viewing step-by-step tutorials. Basically, the viewing of the tutorials would be like an improved InstallShield Wizard idea, where a paragraph or so of explanation on the subject would be displayed, along with a screenshot or two and next/back buttons. We could figure out ways to make the information get displayed in a way that's as easy to digest as possible. The way to create and view the tutorials would have to be as easy as possible. To create tutorials, it would have to be like a wizard type idea, with an advanced mode for users who know what they're doing. Viewing tutorials would be as easy as the click of a button.
What do you think of this idea? Would it be useful to you? Do you have any ideas for programs that you would like to see happen?
