:: I disagree. On the principle of not omitting articles, "Insert element" ought to be "Insert an element". But "Define element" can't be "Define an element", of course; it would have to be "Define the element type", and by that point I think we're better off with just plain old "Element definition". —[[User:Underscore|Underscore]] ([[User talk:Underscore|Talk]]) 15:29, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
::Personally, I think the doubly-linked list tasks should simply be merged into a single task. (Same for the singly linked list tasks.) --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 17:27, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 
: That list is a little hard to read. It'd help if we somehow highlighted where changes are proposed at all, and further differentiated between minor changes (e.g., case, addition/subtraction of small words like “a”) and more major ones (e.g., “Basic Animation” to “Animation”, which might cause issues later). We can expedite the minor changes easily enough, but the major ones require consideration of what we actually want to achieve. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 15:51, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 
:I think the renamings are well chosen. Some comments:
:*I would never guess that "Arena storage pool" had to do with object allocation.
:*Shouldn't "Apply a callback to an array" be merged into "Loop/Foreach"?
:*"Arithmetic/Bitwise operations"
:*"Sorts/*" -> "Sorting/*" or "Sorting algorithms/*"
:*Maybe "GUI/Window creation", etc.
:*"Text processing" is an improvement, but "1" and "2" could be improved on
:*"Bitmap/Flood fill", etc.
:*"Fork process" is still a good name
:*"Machine address" is a good name
:*"Maximum Value" -> "Reduce" (though a more general example might be better [like sum and product of array], since so many languages have "max" built in)
:*"Null" was a better name (maybe "Literals/Null"?)
:*"Number base conversion" is a duplicate task
:*"Proof" -> "Automated theorem proving"
:*"Execute *" -> "* interpreter"
:*"Filter an Array" -> "Filter" (which reminds be that we need a "Map" task)
:*"Literals/Boolean"
:*Keep "User output/*" (since we use "Goodbye world" anyway)
