If you favor 'modern encouragement': Advertise with 'Shiny, new, todo 2.0' or 'todo: is dead, long live %todo' or 'More %todo than ever' on the main page. Write a blog post about it, inform the masses how great the new '%todo' is and make a youtube video about it. But I think deprecation and removal are good enough to encourage people. > And what would be the reason to remove "todo:"? Changed syntax to make it consistent with other directives? Old code should not be affected as the old todos should be done by the time of change. ;) R. Disclaimer: I don't favor any one of the todos over the other. You asked how to encourage usage and that's how I would do it. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
