[OKC JUG] Dojo sometime soon?

[Chad Gorshing]

Oh, and like Smith, I would like to do sparring things.  This would
take time to get a server/environment setup though.

Ruby did something like this:
Law of the Land - http://sparring.rubyforge.org/battleship/
Results - http://sparring.rubyforge.org/battleship_results/index.html

Notice on the results how you weren't just scored mainly on who all
you beat, but the quality/metrics of your code.  I liked this.
