Who can tell me all the little details about the RetroChallenge? Is it basically to choose a project and try to finish it within the month while keeping updates? When might the next one be?

Check out the website here: http://www.retrochallenge.org, especially the entrants page for the last retrochallenge: http://www.retrochallenge.org/p/entrants-list-201710_5.html. You can see what some of the projects were and a summary of how they progressed. Every entrant has a blog set up to document their progress.
I think the next one is in April? They run it every 6 months.

Ah so it's really that simple? Just sign up when the next runs?
April sounds good... Should be ready by then to start my "project"

Yes, that’s pretty much it. Keep an eye on their twitter feed https://mobile.twitter.com/retrochallenge for the sign up announcement which is usually a month before the event starts.
nice! Just sent in my email.
Not sure what's up with RC 2018/4 but I guess there haven't been halftime comments yet.... At this rate, it'll be over before we get those LOL.
Essentially, I thought it’s about using retro hardware for a month.
If you play video games, put away your PlayStation, Wii, Xbox, and only use a SE or IIci, etc. to play games for a whole month.
macintosh garden is a good place to get software, if it hasn’t been uploaded in a chewed up form from the Microsoft emulating Mac OS crowd.
Or, put down your MacBook, and use a 604, or G3 for web access.
MacOS9Lives.com is helpful for using OS9, and even 8, connecting to the web.
