Re: Code Catacombs category for DBI?

Just to clarify...

"tips" implies examples code, or suggestions of how to achieve something ... which might be better suited for Snippets.

Code Catacombs is for: "where people stash full-blown scripts and modules that might be useful to others."

As I recall, the way new categories have been created in the Catacombs in the past is by someone saying "hey we should add a new category, and her's a list of (some number more then 3) entries currently Unfiled or in Miscellaneous that should be moved there.

...but it looks like someone just went ahead and added "DBI Related" so the issue is kind of moot now.

We have a section for CGI so I think a section for DBI is reasonable.... Reasonable enough to have already created the section. Plus there was an empty spot in the table. :-) --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]

Yes I do. But not for trivial things like this. And I dont expect tye or corion to ask me about stuff like this either. If it was drammatic, or I felt that it was likely that they might object I would put it through the peer review process etc, but for minor stuff theres no point. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]

BTW, I wanted to thank you for all the documentation improvements you have done over the past while. You certainly deserve a whack of ++'s for it. Thanks man. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]

I didnt' say it wasn't a good idea ... just that it's silly to have a section without some stuff in it, and looking at the item the OP seemed to be refering to, it screams "Snippet" to me ... it does not fit the spirit of Code Catacombs ... it's not a script or a module someone would use as is.

I'm very sure that that is something the OP will remedy given a little time. And now that we have a section for it maybe a few of our other members will dig out some of their unshared treasures and fill it up. You are right, an empty section isnt so great. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]
