This is very cool, but I imagine would be favored by people already well familiar with programming. When the average person sees the "Socket I/O" quest, they have no natural reason to find it interesting besides the small percent of people who will just do any task if it's part of getting to 100% completion. IMO a more enticing premise would be to wrap every task into an internal narrative.

You are absolutely correct. That's why I ask here. I'm a bad story designer, but I really would like it to have a good story to motivate people.
