March 12, 2005 [communiy matter]The D News Page | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
As Walter said this page held on point "would be a big boost to the D community". In my thread "A Word to the Wise" it is not countered, that the mass of posts is too large for a single person to read. Derek Parnell in http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D/19298 now declared part of the traffic of the D news group as "chaff and rubbish". As a co-editor for the D news page this leads me to the decision that in the D news page posts are entered only, if enough members of the community have declared a post worthy. This declaration is done by sending an email to dnews@yahoogroups.de containing the number of the post. Declarations are valid only for posts after 6/30/04. -manfred |

Posted in reply to Manfred Nowak | Manfred, Is the "D links page" also getting cleaned up? The original post said: <quote> There's so much happening with everyone using D, I've lost track of it. Hence, the news (www.digitalmars.com/d/dnews.html) and links (www.digitalmars.com/d/dlinks.html) have fallen into disrepair, and are formatted ugly anyway. </quote> Where should I email a link to? I think clean community pages will be very much appreciated by people coming to learn about D. thanks, Ben "Manfred Nowak" <svv1999@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:d0udbe$23r7$1@digitaldaemon.com... > As Walter said this page held on point "would be a big boost to the D community". > > In my thread "A Word to the Wise" it is not countered, that the mass of posts is too large for a single person to read. > > Derek Parnell in http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D/19298 now declared part of the traffic of the D news group as "chaff and rubbish". > > As a co-editor for the D news page this leads me to the decision that in the D news page posts are entered only, if enough members of the community have declared a post worthy. > > This declaration is done by sending an email to > dnews@yahoogroups.de > containing the number of the post. > > Declarations are valid only for posts after 6/30/04. > > -manfred |

Are you serious? I mean, just because I 'declare' something, that doesn't make it necessarily true. Have I rubbed you the wrong way? Well I'm sorry if I have, but please don't use my chaff and rubbish as reason to go off in some grand quest. > As a co-editor for the D news page this leads me to the decision that in the D news page posts are entered only, if enough members of the community have declared a post worthy. > > This declaration is done by sending an email to > dnews@yahoogroups.de > containing the number of the post. > > Declarations are valid only for posts after 6/30/04. > Maybe it an Aussie thing, but you are sure coming across as a person that demands formality and properness in all human exchanges. Sorry I didn't make the cut. -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia http://www.dsource.org/projects/build 13/03/2005 12:13:00 AM |

Yes, Joshua Cearley volunteered to do the cleaning and he just assured me of having it on his todo list. > Where should I email a link to? Thanks for the hint, that cleaning up only will not suffice. Please send links to dlinks@yahoogroups.de I will enter them on a priliminary basis into the page. Thanks. -manfred |

Well I'm sorry > if I have, but please don't use my chaff and rubbish as reason to go off in > some grand quest. I'm hoping it's just a "cultural misunderstanding". I think people that speak and write English as a first language (such as me and you) often detect nuances and conotations they wern't intended by authors who know English as a secondary language. (And I don't mean to malign anyone's skill at writing English in this newsgroup. Three years of studying Spanish is high school don't make me even close to bilingual.) -- Justin (a/k/a jcc7) http://jcc_7.tripod.com/d/ |

I had a very good English teacher :) -- -PIB -- "C++ also supports the notion of *friends*: cooperative classes that are permitted to see each other's private parts." - Grady Booch |
