From Rosetta Code

Ideas for 2010? Mention them in here. Discussions can be moved into their own pages if they get large. --Michael Mol 06:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

  • I'd like to see more examples taking advantages of libraries accessible to them. --Michael Mol 06:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I'd like to see more examples which use libraries show how to implement the functionality in their own code. --Michael Mol 06:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I'd like to see the Encyclopedia pages get split into their own realm, and get more programming-relevant content that tends to escape Wikipedia for reasons of notability or origin. --Michael Mol 06:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I want to set up the ability for people to order books based on content selection rules, but that's going to depend on further increasing the quality and organization of the site. --Michael Mol 06:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I want to sell things T-Shirts, jackets and hats. --Michael Mol 06:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I'd like to get the community even more active, without people feeling forced to do this or that. --Michael Mol 06:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I'd like to improve communications with things like an XMPP server, XMPP MUCs and a convenient in-wiki chat box. (akin to everything2's catbox, I suppose...) --Michael Mol 06:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
  • I'd like to see more tasks covering more domains, such as concurrency, networking, GUIs and agents/AI. --Michael Mol 06:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Extracted Comparisons

I am not sure if the Media-Wiki structure would make this straightforward, but I would like to choose from one to N languages and from one to M tasks and extract an easy comparison table for the entries for those languages on just those tasks. --Paddy3118 16:58, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Selling T-Shirts

Realizing that a way is needed to offset costs of supporting this site, I'm fine with this idea. You would probably have a good deal of success selling books on various programming languages as well. I'm wondering if publishers like Manning, Apress, O'Reilly, or Pragmatic would have any interest .Rldrenth 17:25, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
