Hello CodeProject.com

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
Well thanks for that info, I count 12 people on our team. I know it isn't close to the size of CodeProject.com, but it surely isn't an "I." LOSTTWARE.com My site allows for people to develop private programming teams, with password protected forums for each team.

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.

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.

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.

I hope you have thought about things like copyrights. You can not publish any code without proper permissions from the copyright owner. And to know who has the copyright to a function or a snippet of code can be difficult to find out.. jhaga --------------------------------- Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new. Henry David Thoreau, "Walden", 1854
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?

Well since we are all so very concerened with this, I did speak to CodeProject in Ontario on the phone about a month ago, they said put the site up and we will see how it turns out first. I didn't think that would matter to everyone here but I guess I was wrong. Also I am confused, we (the 12 of us at CodeDictionary) haven't even voted yet on if we are going to ask the webmaster of CodeProject, about joining up. It is just an Idea that has been tossed around. But if I understand you right, you are saing that I should ask his permision, to include in a post, the fact that we are considering, asking him about linking to him... Wow, you guy's sure are giving me a hard time about this. I have used codeproject.com for a year and a half, I am not knew around here. I have also published two articles about the site and it's use to college students. One in a newspaper, and one in a college journal at UCSD. I find it odd that everyone is dragging out the whole "you didn't ask the webmaster for permision thing." This is the lounge for crying out loud, what if I wanted to ask everyones opinion on asking the webmaster something here in the lounge, should I email him first and get his permision? Wow.

Agreed! When you write something you should write it properly so that the communication is proper. But you know i am from a place where English is not really a primary language... So I hope you guys forgive me for my bad english. About spelling problem, well I use British english, so there may be some spelling that would be correct according to me but wrong according to American English.
