What a fantastic idea. The problem with bright new coders, particularly ones who come from rigorous but relatively-short learn-to-code curriculums, is that they haven't been exposed to enough best practices. It's easy to create a beautiful site that mashes two APIs in an amusing way...but creating something that can be used and modified and relied upon requires a new level of skill at abstraction and (logistical) design...and what better way to drill the concepts of decoupling and orhthogonality than to practice jumping into a 10K LOC code base and identify the modules and snippets that you can fix?
