Good idea! Building on this could be a way to start writing the OSGeo 
edu book 2: "Developing Geospatial Solutions using Open Source"

I started the page: 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Developing_Geospatial_Solutions_using_Open_Source 
please feel free to contribute problems, solutions, description of the 
coverage, etc.
