Posting CPP articles sometime tomorrow
-
Or maybe tomorrow night, depends on my free time. Most of the pages will be rather empty so it will be up to the PLs to fill them with something ASAP before the mob votes the articles down to 1. I'll put some kind of disclaimer on them saying they are a work in progress. Marc, if you would rather do yours on your own then let me know. I'll wait until I hear from you. Let's get ready to rumble. :cool:

Hi Jason, Cool! I can't wait to see the formats--the work you've put into this is very appreciated. Some comments that didn't occur to me until I began thinking about implementing the article submissions (I'm sort of an "implementation" thinker :-D )-- Have you considered that posting what will probably end up being 12 or more articles (3 projects * 4 articles each) is going to totally take over the 10 most recent articles list? I think this will upset some people. Also, if it's like 5 articles per project, then one project is going to fall off the edge of the universe in the "all categories" section. They appear to be sorted alphabetically. What language section do they get posted in? This will influence how many articles are in the top 10 list for that section also. Given that the PL's have to fill them in, it seems that the article swamping and the empty content could be better resolved by putting them out over a couple days or a week, allowing the PL's to fill in the content on their own schedule. For example, I'm going to be out of town tomorrow and at a client on Friday all day, so I probably won't get a chance to deal with content until Saturday or Sunday. Jason Henderson wrote: Marc, if you would rather do yours on your own then let me know. I'll wait until I hear from you. Yes, that would be my preference. Thanks for your understanding. :-D Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

I mean, we are "forced" to use this system (which is fine with me), but if we screw up the new article list for a day or so, so be it ;) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Maybe I should put some more work into them. :~ Marc Clifton wrote: Have you considered that posting what will probably end up being 12 or more articles (3 projects * 4 articles each) is going to totally take over the 10 most recent articles list? Yeah, but what can you do. I may send you guys the templates and have you fill them in. BTW, do you know if tables are allowed in articles? Marc Clifton wrote: Yes, that would be my preference. I'll email them to you and you can post them at your preference.

Jason Henderson wrote: BTW, do you know if tables are allowed in articles? I believe, yes. It doesn't seem common, but there are quite a few articles with tables in them. I guess the primary criteria would be to make sure that the table adjusts dynamically for browser width instead of fixed columns widths.

I think we should put the articles up in stages. To start with, I would like to expand on the initial project specs as I have been getting some good feedback (thanks jdunlap), which has made me recognise that I have not done a really good job on my abstract/overview so far. From what Marc has said, I seem to have put in about only 10% of the effort that he did :eek:. But that could be down to the differences in the projects themselves.
