Actually this may be a very good idea to combine learning by newbies
and creating actual value: Redo opencores.org in MyHDL! I see a
number of advantages:

* a large set of examples to choose from, at various complexity levels
* newbies have a clear spec, in the form of the exising implementation
* I'm sure many projects can be improved, especially in the area of
  verification - MyHDL modeling might really help here
* the end result also gives something back to the community, as you
  would now be able to use the core in 3 HDLs thanks to conversion.
  The fact that all cores would be available in both VHDL and
  Verilog might be very interesting to opencores users.

I guess it's OK to use the existing opencores.org infrastructure
to publish MyHDL cores.
