Hi Jürgen,
... cut ...
Which languages should we support? Which languages should not be
supported? Should we maybe restructure our snippet-page not seperating
our pages into programming languages but rather task. Jürgen already
said that he'd like to have every snippet in every language.
I think we should concentrate on the most popular and offical
languages supported in OO.org. But let us see how many snippets will
be contributed for other currrently not supported languages. We can
extend the page later as well.
What restrictions are there (time-wise, resource-wise, political-wise)
which would have to/should be followed (who must/should concentrate on
what) ?
And of course having the snippets available in all supported languages
would be great and it should be easy for people to get started with
any contribution to our snippet collection.
That would be most helpful.
How we select the snippets is not so important for me. If we should
first select the language and second the functional topic or vice
versa. But i think that selecting the language first would be more
natural and keeps the follow up pages smaller.
Maybe a solution employing various (even client-sided) XSLT stylesheets
would allow for freely choosing/picking the desired listings and
renderings?
If so, one could even ask for submitting the code-snippets in some
XML-mark-up that you define upfront, and for which one can get at
nutshell-examples so none-XML-savvy people can still create and submit
correctly marked-up files (and maybe even allow entering the text in a
form which then will get processed to create the XML-files the
transformations can work on.
