==Rescuing the page==

Do you think there's any chance of rescuing that page? It doesn't have an implementation at all, just an interface definition (of the highly “so what?” flavour, too) in a single language. If we can't rescue it, killing it off would be better I suppose. –Donal Fellows 14:58, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

What is the task?

What are we supposed to do for this task? (Presumably implement a VList, but that's not really enough for a complete task.) What is an adequate demonstration that an implementation of a VList datastructure is at least not grossly incorrect? –Donal Fellows 09:21, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Marked as a draft. There's no implementation in the page and there's no task definition either. Until there's a proper task definition and evidence that it can be done in several languages (preferably of different natures), it doesn't match quality requirements for being a task. –Donal Fellows 09:33, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
It doesn't have to be a task. Maybe the intent was for it to be a page like Associative array. --Mwn3d 20:59, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Draft and not draft?

I noticed that this is appearing as both a draft and non-draft page on "tasks not implemented pages". Odd. --Dgamey 20:32, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

It's in the non-draft task category because it's labelled as a data structure. {{data structure}} puts it directly in the programming tasks category. I'm not sure that that is necessary. I think all of the data structures are already marked as tasks. --Mwn3d 20:35, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
I fixed that template. It's just as well. There were some encyclopedic pages that got placed in the programming tasks category. Oops. --Mwn3d 20:55, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
