Good ideas for the dsPIC competition. 

I will add PICkit 2 to the list as well. :)
Anyway I think Microchip is planning to support
PIC18/PIC18J/dsPIC for PICkit 2 judging from the
PC application (now grayed out) but I do not
know the time frame. Hopefully not year 2010. :)

Some questions to Wouter:

When will be Wisp648 (or better Wisp2550) be out?

When will the PICkit 2 clone be out?

Warp? It is out of the business even though the
author still supports it. Right?

Pony-Prog? The author seems no longer support it.

Ic-prog? Is it a programmer or just a software?

Regards,
Xiaofan

For more examples on the net: how about a contest aimed at hobbyist (for
instance: estimated price of total project must be < $25).
...
About Wisp628 (more like Wisp648) support for dsPICs: 
... If uChip had bombarded me with
samples of all new chips I would probably have felt obliged to do
something with them. I would suggest that they select a few 'promising'
programmer designs and simple send a few samples of each new PIC chip to
the developers. Suggestions that I can think of right now: myself (of
course), Olin, Kitsrus, Warp, ic-prog, pony-prog (yes, those ones too!).
