==Wiki Structure==

Hey there, interesting idea with this site. You seem to be being pounded by slashdot at the moment, but hopefully after that dies down things will speed up a bit.

Anyway, I had a thought. Currently, you display which tasks have been solved by a language or implementation by linking to the "what links here" page. Of course, many pages other than
solution tasks may show up. For example, I've been poking at the SML page and pages for various implementations, and they all link back and forth. Perhaps a better solution would be to have a category for "task solved in language X" for each language or implementation? Just a thought.

I second that! [[User:Til|Til]] 20:30, 23 January 2007 (EST)

:I've actually created some of the categories required. As soon as I get finished formtting page I'm working on, I'll start categorizing the code examples. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 20:33, 23 January 2007 (EST)

::Thanks! [[User:Til|Til]] 20:38, 23 January 2007 (EST)

:::No problem. It's nice to have more people working on it. Keep categorizing the code examples. Also, check out [[:Category:Solutions by Programming Language]]

I have a question on formatting in MediaWiki. Maybe a formatting page could help in the future.
Sometimes my code (AppleScript if it matters) doesn't get a dashed box. My only solution so far has been to add a few spaces before each line of code and that seems to clean it up, but not always. Any ideas on this irritant? --[[User:Macawm|macawm]] 00:13, 24 January 2007 (EST)

:Hm. A single space at the beginning of every line (including blank lines), should be sufficient to put the text in the code box. If you still come across code that doesn't want to format correctly, put it in the [[Help:Sandbox|Sandbox]], and I'll take a peak at it. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 15:13, 24 January 2007 (EST)

::Thanks for the info. --[[User:Macawm|macawm]] 15:37, 24 January 2007 (EST)

Could you take a look at [[MIRC]] ? There seems to be some kind of mixup, and I'm not really sure about how to handle it. mIRC is the IRC client, MSL is the language. --[[User:CrashandDie|CrashandDie]] 14:13, 25 January 2007 (EST)
:Will do, soon as I'm out of class. :-) --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 14:28, 25 January 2007 (EST)

::Ok cool, I'm off for tonight: you're getting out, I'm getting in. --[[User:CrashandDie|CrashandDie]] 16:12, 25 January 2007 (EST)

Hey, I was taking a look at [[Special:Statistics]], and I noticed you managed quite a few hits... Now, when did the wiki go online? As in, how much hits have you got per month ? Just wanted to know if the way this project turned out to run, was matching your hopes ? --[[User:CrashandDie|CrashandDie]] 17:26, 3 February 2007 (EST)
:Better than I hoped. When I first aterted watching statistics, I was ecstatic when the Main Page had 100 page views in a 24-hour period. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 17:47, 3 February 2007 (EST)

== 4D (French version) ==

Hey Mike! I was glad to find this site when googling for ''programming rosetta stone''. This is exactly what I was in search of.

I've been making some additions and I have a question for you. [[4D]] has an English version and a French version which each have a completely different syntax (e.g., Si...Sinon...Fin de si). Do you think I should add the French syntax to this site as well? I just added both versions to the article on [[Sorting an Array of Integers]]. --[[User:Nick|Nick]] 23:52, 20 February 2007 (EST)
:Absolutely. Take a second look at that page. I reformatted the 4D section slightly; That's probably what it should look like. Also, be sure to describe the multilingual nature of 4D on its category page.

== try "C++" in title ==

Why does'nt C++ work here in titles? In my MediaWiki (1.9.3) it's a normal article name. --[http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Wolf_Peuker Wolf] 16:47, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

You have rewriting active, I see that it works: no <tt>index.php?title=</tt> urls. Maybe there are some mistakes in the rewrite rules, I'll have a look on it if you are interested. -- [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Wolf_Peuker Wolf] 06:14, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
: Can I contact you via email? --Wolf 16:37, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

== dealing with the spammers ==

I have no idea what's going on with the whole spam stuff - it's not one or two isolated IP addresses, so I'm guessing it is someone spoofing IP adresses or otherwise someone's botnet. I don't know how this works in other wikis, but maybe there could be some kind of rule that only registered/logged-in users can post? Or unregistered users' submissions have to be approved before they actually show in the wiki itself? Something like that? [[User:Sgeier|Sgeier]] 05:34, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
:When I logged in and saw all the spam, I immediately started researching that. There's no builtin MediaWiki option for it, so I'd have to modify the source itself. It remains to be seen whether that'll mean modifying the theme or some other portion. I don't think modifying the theme will work, because I expect wiki spambots know the MediaWiki URL API, and just send the post operations directly. So I'd like a solution that's not dependent on what an HTTP client sees. Yesterday was my last exam for the semester, so I'll have more time to look at it this week.

:By the way, I also wanted to drop you a line. I noticed that you've been a fairly regular contributor. It's very much appreciated. Would you like to assist me in administrating the site? I could use the help, as I haven't been able to devote all the time necessary to fully organize all the content, etc. Drop me an email. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 12:12, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
