I guess my first quesion would be "why?" Before we would suggest having development effort (which might not be all that much in this instance) put forth, we should have a compelling justification for the change. I don't have any idea why posts to the section can't be FP'd currently either...perhaps there was a good reason that someon e who has been here longer can offer. My two-cents...in reading through the snippets I found some nifty stuff, but nothing so fantastic that I would have FP'd it..so I can't see the point in making the change.	[reply]

I've found interesting stuff there and would personally get more out of it than Craft or Obfu. YMMV. I try to track the snippets but would also like to have the best ones (according to the front-pager) served up to me. I can live without it but if it's easy and popular...	[reply]

while i am not sure that the front page is the most splendid location for the solitary snippet, might it be possible at some stage, given some encouragement of some moderate amazon-book-token-ish sort, for grinder the snippet master to produce a snippet mailing list? i dare to hope ;-). (apologies for vulgar and paltry nature of bribe. i go to 50 sterling.) ...wufnik	[reply]

Perhaps snippets don't belong on the front page (The Monastery Gates), but it could be a very useful if the front page for the snippets section not only had a most recent but included a top 10 list or top 100 would be even better. And then just to take it a little farther, each category in snippets could have a top ## list. OK that's probably going a bit too far but it is a nice thought. Oh, I forgot, the snippets section doesn't have categories. Perhaps it would be a more logical first step to create categories for snippets as that would make it easier to find what you are looking for.	[reply]
