Should we use only the most popular idea or should we split the ideas into multiple projects?

In order for polls to work in this discussion forum, I think you'll want to post the poll title, then one new post below that for each poll option. Then we can vote a 5 for the one we want (and leave the others alone). The post with the most votes then one the poll. That way there will be far fewer posts and an easier way of determining the winner. Ex: POLL: Do you like beef? Re: POLL: Do you like beef? "Yes" Re: POLL: Do you like beef? "No" Of course, you could make it cleaner by just putting "Yes" and "No" in the message titles, but I wanted to make the concept easy to understand. [edit]I'll post an example below this message, then delete it when it serves no more purpose.[/edit] John

Its an informal process at the moment, so please just give an answer to the question. If you wish to make a suggestion, then use the comments section.

Please put these ideas in seperate messages so they can be voted on individually. Then add your general comment to the comments section. We gotta follow the rules Paul. ;) Thanks.

On that though really we should have another thread called Final Ideas (you create it and populate it with each seperate idea, merging similar or ideas which are the same.) Then there can be a call for two days of voting (not over a weekend) for the final tally. As it is now the main rush of voting was probably over before the last few ideas. Not that I mind much either way really, whatever gets us going is the best :)

and we can discuss it in the lounge. With many projects we probably can't ! CodeProject House, Paul Watson wrote: ...and the roar of John Simmons own personal Nascar in the garage.

I just thought that you really don't want an additional 100+ responses for every poll you'll be posting. This thread is already likely to have won the "Most Massive Code Project Thread" award! Let me know if/when you want me to delete these. John

Well, at the risk of getting flamed, and as I have seen a couple of application framework ideas posted, how about helping with the Visual Component Framework[^]? It's easy to use, better laid out than MFC, and will eventually run on multiple platforms (the GTK and Mac port are in progress, and I see no reason it couldn't work on devices like WinCE). In addition it has a really cool RTTI/Reflection API making writing plugin/add-ins a cinch. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

SubVersion is not at "one point oh" yet. I wouldn't recommend using it for anything serious just yet.. :) -- I'm the figure head on a ship of fools
You are aware that the Subversion developers themselves are using it to version control the Subversion project? It's looking pretty good and they're in beta phase now ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)!

I think multiple is better, single is good. Single will help to "test the waters" and iron out the glithces. However, multiple will help to find a place for those that really want to participate, but are alienated by a particular project. As for discusssion boards, once a project is decided on, we can post an article and then use the discussion on that so that it stays with the article.

I think even UGLY is too big to be treated as one project. To make it useful to a very large spectrum of users, I think that it should have MFC, .NET, WTL and probably even wxWindows and Qt versions. If there is a general scope drawn up, and the individual parts finalized, say like we need a masked edit control that had these features, a customizable scroll bar, etc, individuals can work on these components. I won't even discourage multiple people working on the same type of control. We could include the best implementation. IMO, the parent project should more like giving specifications and suggestions regarding what makes the library useful and complete. I think that centralized control should only be to decide what finally makes it into an integrated distribution.

Ok, so I tried far too hard for that! And don't ask what Brian has to do with it... :eek: I'm sorry. :-O
