I like it, but it needs a few checks... as it stands, anybody could 
request a python script that does absolutely nothing, with a Bonus of a 
Win. Then they Wind their own Coil and Win the Game.

Also, much as I hate to break the complicated reference, it might be 
good to have this apply to other languages as well. PHP, PSP, even 
languages that aren't directly wiki or website related like Perl or 
Fortran could be used for some things, especially if I'm not the only 
one requesting the scripts.

Well, maybe not Fortran.
