The thread starts here: http://bugs.racket-lang.org/query/?cmd=view&pr=12642 and continues here: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@racket-lang.org/msg05730.html > I've just pushed something based on that discussion. Please let me > know what you think. I like the new dialog a lot. I think it could be improved with some of the suggestions made in the thread. Three I like in particular: - Make the language for "teaching" and "#lang" more parallel. This could help emphasize that the first option is really a language choice. So either change "Teaching language" to "Use a teaching language", or change the first option to "Standard language" (or "normal" or something else like that). - Add some example #lang lines under the #lang option. These could even be actual choices, which edit the buffer if it's a new one -- `racket`, `racket/base`, `typed/racket`, `slideshow` are good candidates. - Allow the presence of a #lang line to override the language dialog, or at least give an error that's more helpful than currently. -- sam th sa...@ccs.neu.edu _________________________ Racket Developers list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev
