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! 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. --Short Circuit 20:33, 23 January 2007 (EST)
- Thanks! 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? --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 Sandbox, and I'll take a peak at it. --Short Circuit 15:13, 24 January 2007 (EST)
- Thanks for the info. --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. --CrashandDie 14:13, 25 January 2007 (EST)
- Will do, soon as I'm out of class. :-) --Short Circuit 14:28, 25 January 2007 (EST)
- Ok cool, I'm off for tonight: you're getting out, I'm getting in. --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 ? --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. --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. --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.
