Any other ideas before I need to put my own brain to work here, which I'd really rather not do.

What's confusing? In the classical guitar world there is a standardized method of rating the difficulty of the repertoire.
IMO, something along those lines would be more useful than having the members judge their difficulty simply because someone who has been playing one month will rate a lesson "difficult", while someone who has played for one year might rate it as a "beginners piece".
The ratings really should come from the teacher. Who is the lesson designed for? What particular skill or skills is it trying to teach? What skills should one have mastered prior to beginning this lesson? Those are some of the questions I think need to be answered so that the self-guided student can choose things to work on that are appropriate to his/her skill level. It helps them avoid the " I can't play this so I must suck!" syndrome that comes from attempting songs they'd be better off trying in a year or two.
Clearer?
