It'd be super cool to have a dashboard for competitors. Here's a brief list of what I'm thinking for features:

* Compact list of challenges with associated data (score/position/# of revs/size if entered, other competitors if not)
* Aggregated leaderboards centered on you (one for general, one language-specific, and one for each entered challenge, perhaps?)
* Links to forum threads you've participated in
* Site news and the like

Really it's not that much different than the front page, but with a little more user-focused content and a way to get your current position at a glance.

Thoughts?

Definitely on its way Ben, but I've got to dedicate some time to other projects for the next week or so, so it'll be delayed for a little while.

Carldr.

Ben - I agree with this completely too. As a logged in user, you don't need to know what Code Golf is about, and we can probably dispense with news that's been read, either in an AJAX-y manually removed user way, or just use some intelligent highlighting of new news which has been posted since you last logged in, and then remove it from the view a login or two later. Both of these would free up plenty of space to gear the front page to challenges the user is participating in and such. Watch this space :)

On the Top Golfers board it says "x challenges" completed next to each user, it'd be nice to click that and see what those challenges are.

I'd really like to be able to see my standing in each challenge summarized together on some page. Every time I return after a break, I have to click through all the challenges to see which one I ought to start obsessing over again.

I like it, good idea.

I agree - good idea, key.
