We are opening a little brother site to The Code Project. Once we are up we would like to link to your message boards over here, instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. We are in need of... input. We would like some programmers to help us build up are archives. Any language will do, if you know a language we don't have, let us know and we will probably add if for you. What I am asking for is volunteers for moderators, and people who can contribute code definitions. Respectfully, CodeDictionary.com http://www.codedictionary.com LOSTTWARE.com My site allows for people to develop private programming teams, with password protected forums for each team.

I think what we need indeed is a mission statment. Basically I can forsee the two sites being complements to one another. Where CodeProject gives outstanding examples, on how to use a code, functions, or entire applications (you guy's have zip files). Our site would only be a quicky reference site. Many times while using a downloaded zip file from this site I would come accross another command or function that I did not know what exactly it did. CodeDictionary is to be just that. A quick refrence site to simply look up a single snippet of code. Be it "
" in html, or "include" in php, it is only a dictionary. With a small, short, to the point definition of what that code does. Further more, I noticed that one of our moderators has put an entire page as a description. Damn near an article. I feel myself that that much rather belongs at a site like this. I would like to build a search engine for CP into CD and hopefully one day Vice/Versa. Pointless now, untill our databases are up to par, and we have all of the bugs worked out. We have only been open two days. ;) Also I see no point in a message board for discussing code, when this one functions just fine. I would like to direct all of our traffic this way for that, (hopefully with the favor returned). Once our code is loaded into our dictionary's database, we are looking into allowing people to click on a word and search CP for further information on it if they so desire. On that note, I hope I have answered your questions. I appreaciate them, as they bring to my attention things I should clear up at out site. -- Josh One of CodeDictionary's Webmasters.

LOSTTWARE.com My site allows for people to develop private programming teams, with password protected forums for each team.Good clarification, Josh. Thank you. I can see some value in a site that links to other, more specialized sites like this one. We are a MS technology site, for instance, but there are other, equally viable technologies out there. You mentioned PHP; Java, REBOL, MySQL, etc also have decent followings of true believers, and they deserve attention. If your site serves as a portal to access information about diverse technologies it could be of great value. I see posts here regularly asking for assistance with some topic that didn't originate in Redmond, and the responses they receive are often embarrasingly juvenile. Perhaps your site can alleviate that problem by directing them to more appropriate places. Good luck in your venture... Heard in Bullhead City - "You haven't lost your girl -

What I dislike is people talking about "we" when they mean "I". Sounds rather unprofessional. Pretend to have a big team that does not exist. -- - Free Windows-based CMS: www.zeta-software.de/enu/producer/freeware/download.html - See me: www.magerquark.de - MSN Messenger: uwe_keim@hotmail.com

Spelling mistakes may be easy to catch, but grammatical ones are another story. In your case there was no spelling mistake, you just used the wrong word. It's actually a pretty common mistake but I always wonder if the person who makes it would have caught it had they gone back to read their post before submitting it. :~ Regards, Alvaro
"I do" is both the shortest and the longest sentence in the English language.

I think the question you should have asked yourself was 'If my site was large and successful and CP was 2 days old and it's webmaster had posted this on my site how would I feel about it?'. I'm not saying your idea is a bad idea. What I'm questioning is your approach. Anyone who spends any time at all on CP knows who the webmaster is and I would have thought that common courtesy would have prompted you to approach him directly. He certainly reads emails.

You are loosing site of the purpose of my post. In my responces, and the orginal post, yes I have wrote what our future plans might be on trying to link with CodeProject. That was a might, I did not ask the members here to vote on if we should or tell everyone that we were going to. I would have the courtesy, and brains, to discuss something of that nature with the webmaster of this site first. The purpose of this post was to try to find programmers (which I could probebly do at this site) to help us build up our database (which I shouldn't need anyone's permision to ask for help). I mearly spelled out what our plans might be, as a courtesy to those who would consider helping us out, so that they knew who we are, where we are comming from, and what they would be getting themselves into. Oddly, I have yet to see one responce saying, "Sorry I am too busy," or, "Sure, I'll help, I know this language or that." Maybe this wasn't the right place to ask for help.

What? No one person or company owns the rights to a language. Take for example English, you have Websters and Merrian. How many sites do you see with tutorials out there for HTML? Do they all pay money to the HTML owners to publish information about that language? How's about VC, you have Microsoft Visual C++ and Borland Visual C++, do I pay to both companies to write about them? I think you missed the point of the site. It is an information archive, a "Dictionary" of defenitions. We are not stealing the defenitions from any other copyrighted source either. Each defenition is in the unique words of the user that put it into our database, they of course all run on a rating system, much like the articles here do. If we find a definition with a low rating, we will scrap it, and find a better one for that piece of code. No, we have not thought about the copyrights, because there are none. We are not plagerizing or paraphrasing the information from anyone else, if you looked at our site you would realize that right now, out of the few definitions we do have, each gives credit to the respective author who imput that definition into our site.

Nope, you don't need anyone's permission to try and find programmers. But you miss my point. You're using a (possibly) competing resource. Do you imagine Toyota would look kindly upon the use of their newsgroups to recruit purchasers to Honda?
