==Scramble?==
The [[wp:Straddling checkerboard|Wikipedia page]] implies that the order of the digits 0-9 can also be scrambled to improve security. To make the task more complete but not much more complicated, I think it would make sense to also provide numbers to the function in the desired order. To leave the existing cipher for the example valid, the inputs to the StraddlingCheckerboard function would become ("0123456789HOLMESRTABCDFGIJKNPQUVWXYZ./", 3, 7) --[[User:Tikkanz|Tikkanz]] 15:05, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

::: Ok. I see what you're saying, but between this and the other section, I can't tell if you're proposing that the task description should be changed so that u should be less than v, or that the C++ code should be changed. [[User:MagiMaster|MagiMaster]] 19:39, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
:::: Thinking about it again, I don't really see the point. Why should we distinguish between reordering columns and reordering rows when both are redundant? [[User:MagiMaster|MagiMaster]] 21:42, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 
== Someone else ==
 
Would someone else want to take over handling this task? I don't seem to be getting much done and I'd rather hand it off than see it stuck in draft. [[User:MagiMaster|MagiMaster]] 00:27, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 
: I think you are doing fine.
: On Wed July 6th, I will be able to focus on the task again, and can also take over the process of maturing the draft to full Task status, if you still want to hand over the duty at that time. --[[User:Util|Util]] 14:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
:: Yeah, that'd be fine with me. [[User:MagiMaster|MagiMaster]] 20:52, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
