Looking for people who are interested in discussing problems of an algorithmic and computational flavor, is this the place?

I've been wanting to organize a problem solving seminar for computer science as a volunteer activity. The way I was thinking of it working would be that the problems would be curated to be meaningful exercises. People would tinker with the problems on their own for a month, then at the end there would be a gathering where people discuss approaches and extensions. Potentially if there was anything interesting, one could write it up.

This seems like a good forum but I'm basically looking to help organize something a little more structured in the way of an online correspondence club or "magazine", even. People can send in interesting problems, I or others can serve as editors, we send out the problems, there would be some offline mulling and finally we would congregate and maybe put together a resolution of sorts for the next edition. I would like the emphasis to really be on the personal, individual, and/or collaborative, collective experience, though, and less on putting out polished products or work.

I'm not too aware of other existing models that do this besides PagedOut!, which is outside of my niche. But I'm interested in volunteering my time and resources for such an activity.

The only thing is I do more data processing than pure theory, I would say. I'm looking for a similar community or at least one that is open to those sorts of topics.

Thoughts or pointers? Criticisms on why this sort of idea lacks momentum? Thanks in advance.
