My advice is not even think about doing actual tasks until you have an
understanding of the field and don't consider yourself a newbie. There are
lots of high level sites for this... 

This list is mainly for people with academic or pragmatic approaches to
problem solving in AI to flame each other, and for people who don't know
what namespace to put their modules... :)
