: To facilitate the process, I've created [[Template:Draft task]], taken from observing [[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]]'s [http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Stem-and-leaf_plot&oldid=70027 initial stages] of the [[Stem-and-leaf plot]] task. Any page this template is on will show up in [[:Category:Draft Programming Tasks]]. Ideally, pages that wind up in there should be fixed up and clarified so that they're acceptable enough to be added to the Task roster. Just about anything that's in the "Request a programming task" page that's remotely workable should be put in a draft task, where the task ideas can be refined until people can agree they're clear enough for comfortable unambiguous implementation. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 06:05, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
:: ... Or removal? Hopefully we can turn a large proportion of drafts into true tasks, but others might be split, or removed as unworkable I would think. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 08:29, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
::: ... Or removal. Or conversion or splitting into something useful. If something's totally unsuable, I'd probably want to shuffle it into a "dead task ideas" category, rather than erasing it. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 16:26, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
