I was talking more on the lines of random coding projects that serve no practical purpose. Even still, it should be a group effort to create helpdesks and tutorials, and not a leader's job to enforce them.
Since this is "support" forums, there will be support for the newbies. Our job is to help other members in need, but also increase the knowledge for the members in the group.
Yes, and as I just stated there's nothing wrong with helpdesks and tutorials. I've have one on here already. I'm just saying that we don't need groups on this site ran by power hungry members who are only here to flaunt their authority. Useless assignments and projects won't get anybody anywhere and most people don't have time for that crap anyway, however tutorials and helpdesks are definitely a worthwhile contribution.
How is one "power hungry", by creating assignments that will help out the noobies in the group? If you want to be a part of a group, you're there because you want to help or get help. If you don't want to help out or complete the assignments, you're not going to fit into a modern group.
I can help others out and not have to submit work to the leader to boost his ego.
How is completing assignments boosting someone's ego? Really. If I were to give you an assignment, such as rearrange an array with even numbers first, odd numbers last, and in ascending order, you wouldn't do it?
How does it boost my ego? Your logic is flawed.. that is not how things work.
