1) This could reduce the load on you to add this feature.
2) I, and I'm sure many others, currently lack experience and skills in doing this, and would greatly benefit from your usual approach to these things.
This is a great idea, I myself have contemplated crafting coding exercises using TDD, where a test is provided for the user to "make pass" and then a phase of refactoring where patterns and practices can be learned.
I feel as though being able to share other peoples answers to the challenges would really help the learning process, although I understand this could be a lot of effort as vetting and additional context might be required.
Otherwise I really like it and would like to contribute towards achieving this. If you would like to reach out I am keen to understand how exactly I can contribute.
I'm not sure how you could write tests for the coding challenges in a reasonable way.
You'd need to write them in some language-agnostic system so you didn't constrain the choice of language. The alternative to that is to write tests in all the languages, which is only reasonable if you have a team of people to do it.
You'd also need to write them in such a way as to not steer people to a particular design, so they would be very generic and black box. I would question what value these would add.
I would suggest focusing on the projects. Trying to build a variation of exercism.org would be a black hole of time and effort.
Is there a guide for the challenges...I have been putting off getting started because most seem to need a sizeable time commitment. In some instances it's obvious which are the shorter/smaller challenges, but I'd there anyway that points you to specific ones you could do say, over a couple of days or weekends. Cheers
Feed two birds with one scone: create some coding challenges to add automated testing for previous coding challenges!
That could be fun!

Do you know CodeCrafters?
Perhaps you can join forces with them, they already have a leaderboard and testing CI set up.
This could free you more time to design the challenges
