Since these are personal explanations of the programming thought-process, I think it's proper that they be grouped by author within each subject.  I will put my name on my AoC contributions.  Jan-Pieter, you can create a section for yours.

Project Euler is widely known and annotated solutions would be just the sort of thing I was looking for with this page.  The annotation is what the page is about: if you have a one-line solution you should expect to take 20-80 lines of text explaining it and building it up with examples.  Writing the answer up will take quite a bit longer than coming up with the solution!

I'd agree that examples are great, e.g., Rosetta Code is a great compendium of 
programming language equiproblem solution comparisons. A comma-delimited 
listing of would be too much, as there aren't that many J active users, at 
least judging from the names I've seen past 2 years on the general and 
programming mailing list.

Consider a table. Heading rows would be  links to problems in ascending order 
from advent of code (or projecteuler.net, or leetcode, ...). Heading columns 
would be solution-contributing users' links (if such exist on the jwiki). Cell 
would be either inline code hidden in a summary tag (in HTML, or whatever 
wikis' equivalent of that is)  or link to location of those users' solutions, 
properly identified (id='...') to be more navigable to-and-fro san scrolling. 
Inlining would be hellish on rendition, so probably not.

I can contribute 45 projecteuler not great one-liners for whatever that's worth.

Great initiative, Henry.
I'm considering gradually adding my versions.
How do you think it's best to structure this? One section per person with a
list of pages for each problem, or put solutions of different persons close
to each other?

My solutions are still a work in progress, though; currently solving day 19.
Cheers,
Jan-Pieter

How do you convince someone that J is really different?  Examples seem
contrived.

I am trying something new.  I have used J to solve a suite of
programming problems posed by an impartial source, to wit Advent of Code
2022.  Tire-kickers can compare the J solutions against those in other
languages.

The pages are at https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/ShareMyScreen .

IF YOU ARE NEW TO J, you are the person I need to hear from. Where do I
need to add explanatory material, or rewrite a section?

IF YOU ARE AN OLD J HAND, consider adding your own programs.  They can
be from any source as long as you make the solution comprehensible to a
novice.

I know several users on this list solved the AoC2022 problems;
alternative solution pages would be welcome.
