Journal Short Circuit's Journal: Need a little help over at Rosetta Code 3

Rosetta Code's been moving slowly lately, mainly because the currently-active members have filled out most of the tasks with the languages they're familiar with, and few have an interest in creating new task pages. If you feel like writing some code (or if you just want to see something done in another language), mosey on over and create a task (don't forget to include an example solution in at least one language). Don't worry if those task requirements seem a little heavy...if you don't do it right, chances are someone else will fix it.

I created a task around 3AM this morning, and by the time I woke up it had solutions in ten languages, and all three of my initial examples had been modified or added to. So there are people there, they're just waiting for something to do. :-)

Oh, and RC is on a shared hosting plan again...for the love of God, don't /. me until I get better hosting. :-)

Need a little help over at Rosetta Code

  • What, no "Hello World"??? :-)

    I have to admit the site looks cool and is coming along well.
  • Thanks- I have an idea, but I need to code it myself first. I'm thinking about doing it for ASP.NET, C#.net, and SQL Server 2005 because of an upcoming project.

    Though I think I'll complete the contract (if I get it) before I post the problem. But if we could do it, it would greatly enhance any localization (brute force or resource string) project.

    Basically, the problem is: Scan a set of source code files, recursively; identify any string shown to the user in the language you're programming the routine

For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
