I do like the idea of running a dual-track challenge, where one track is strictly exchange-based (and has deadlines, penalties, length limits, etc.) and one track is non-exchange-based, with less restrictions and therefore more accessibility.
At the end of lgbtfest prompts that haven't been fulfilled can be written by anyone and linked to from a main post (rather than getting their own page on the comm). And ninebillion had an exchange and a free-prompt track. So I know that it has worked (well enough for me as a participant).
I hope this isn't off topic now. Also, I want to say to Kaz that I think the form email/comment-on-a-specific-post for extensions and withdrawing is an awesome idea.
