Order of exercises?

[catb0t]

I've been reading the piles of documentation littered throughout the Exercism project, and I'm fairly clear on how to implement problems. What I find very confusing or vague at best is, how to know which exercise I should put after this one?

Obviously, the hello-world exercise is easiest -- string concatenation / formatting, so it's first. Leap year (which is the second exercise in Python, JS, Racket and probably lots of others) is a little bit harder, but not very hard, so it goes at spot 2.

I haven't read all or even most of the problems in the x-common repo, but I kinda assume they get harder as the track progresses... yes? If this is the case, should I order problems in the same way as another track that has many problems implemented? Or does it not matter?

Ow, yeah I'm so sorry about that! I really need to figure out how to put the right documentation in the right place.

Yeah, that's the idea, but it's kind of a rough guess when we start a new track, because different languages have different concepts that get introduced in the various problems.

Take a look at how the Rust track is tackling this: exercism/rust#127

Sweet, that's really helpful!
