One option to give it some structure, might be to model it upon something like the Mixit/Quixit program in em411.com

Looks like the Quixit concept was designed in part by one of our LAU members, James (Everazmah).

Though a Quixit isn't really a collaboration, more of a friendly online "laptop battle". There may be other ways to structure it though.
