I think that's a nice idea. A monthly schedule sounds good to me:

 - there is enough time for people to find spare time to work on the code,
 - we need new challenge ideas only once a month.

Maybe we could use the software farm with special tags for the submissions.
It also has a voting system integrated, although one person there can vote
for multiple projects including one's own. But I wouldn't consider that a
negative.

[ Also there are certain features of Gambas for which we at Gambas-Buch.de
  struggle to find good concise examples. A well-constrained challenge task
  might solve this problem for us >:-) ]
