(See Wikipedia page for the meaning of 101 (term).)
Not the first time that something like this is proposed...

[failed GNU/Hurd project]
< antrik> gnu_srs1: I wouldn't say he was on track. just one of the many
many people who insist on picking a hard task; realizing that indeed it's
hard; and going into hiding
< antrik> we see that happen every couple of months
< cluck> maybe we need a "hurd 101"
< cluck> getting a teacher and setting up a regularly held "class" for hurd
noobs
< Tekk_> cluck: what would that include?
< cluck> explaining core concepts, giving out "homework" (small tasks), etc
< cluck> that way "the big guys" could focus on the hard stuff and have an
army of code monkeys at their disposal to write speced stuff
< cluck> (then again this idea would heavily depend on available "teachers"
and "students", which, going by gsoc numbers, may not be all that
helpful)
< Tekk_> cluck: gsoc isn't an accurate indicator
< Tekk_> cluck: I'm not allowed to participate in gsoc but I'd join :P
< antrik> cluck: we don't need code monkeys... we need hackers
< Tekk_`> antrik: code monkeys involve into hackers
< Tekk_`> under the right conditions
< cluck> antrik: jokes aside some sort of triage system/training ground for
newcomers could be helpful
