Line 5:
:: So IMO, the page [[User Output - graphical]] should be split by GUI libs, and if you wish to keep this page around, for each language give a link until the available sub-examples, for example for OCaml I would give a link to this current page [[Xlib_simple_window#OCaml]] and also [[Tk_simple_window#OCaml]] and [[GTK_simple_window#OCaml]]...

:: Pages growing too large is actually not a bad thing. Once it happens, we can look at a page with a large amount of content and decide on an appropriate way to split up that content. We don't have a large enough sample of examples to make that decision yet for [[User Output - graphical]]. Incidentally, and for historical perspective, it was already split once. The original task was [[User Output]]. That task was split between GUI and console forms of output. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 01:41, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:: I'm not sure what you mean by your second point. The task gives a simple requirement, and people who provide examples can use as many or few libraries per given language as they need. In my opinion, library comparison is valuable; Just as one can use RC to leverage their knowledge of one language to learn another, they can, in some cases, use RC to leverage their knowledge of one library to learn another. The task is deliberately vague so as not to discourage the use of a variety of languages. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 01:41, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:::That page is too simple a task to split up by library I think. If I just want to know how to make a window in a language, I don't care what library I use. Splitting it by library might also make the pages too small if one language has a library available to it that another doesn't. I think it works fine to have the examples marked with the libraries they use just so that all of the examples for one language are in one place. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 20:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
:::: OK, but you should admit that creating a window with GTK or the Xlib are 2 things very different. The area of use are even at the opposite! [[User:Blue Prawn|Blue Prawn]] 20:48, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
