Interesting. Very interesting actually.
Can I get a hands-up from those who would like to post articles on hardware?
|
|
|
|
|
i'd like to read them, does that count?
|

I would post a few articles, I have a lot of .NET MF and Arduino stuff on my desk.

Are we talking about a new sister site or a dedicated article and forum section?
As it is now, you have to go here[^] and set your filter in order to find relevant articles. There might be other sections where articles are being placed as well (not really sure).
I would like to read (and try out) more articles like this: Raspberry Pi as low-cost HD surveillance camera[^]
DaveAuld has been writing some articles[^] and so has Marco B[^] and several others. I would also be interested in seeing what ledtech3 comes up with[^].
In short, I think there is an audience and sufficient contributors for dedicated article section and discussion forum(s). I like to believe I will be able to contribute as well (time permitting ).

I vote against another sister site (see my answer to Chris - source code is source code, and there isn't a sister site for Android programming, either).
I primarly find codeproject articles by using the Google search (My article on Arduino and C# comes up at the 3rd position on Google[^]), so no real need to change anything. Except a dedicated section for Arduino-ish and Pi-ish platform would be nice.

With the current rise of small platforms as Arduino and RPi are, definitely yes.
I think it would be also great if we could "outsource" all Hardware stuff which has nothing to do with programming into a separate category.

I'd stick with CP for this kind of stuff. Even though I have posted only a single article on Arduino, a new section as "Hardware near programming" for Arduino and similar stuff would be great.
A new sister site wouldn't make any sense, since a lot of the CPians are playing with Arduino and similar devices in their free time and in the end, source code is source code - There isn't a sister site for Android stuff, either. Take it as a chance to make CP less MS-focused and get it towards other technologies, too.

Both Hands Raised.
I am sure I asked for a couple of hardware section a few years ago for this very reason. E.g. add a section for Micro's e.g. RasPi/Arduino/Beagle/Parallela/a.n.other

I find it a good idea.
A bit off-topic:
I suggested some time ago a new section about automation programming (PLC, Robotics, HMI-Scripting and similars). You told it was a good idea, is it still on the queue? or has it been discarded?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

One possibility is that the author decided to remove it. Sometimes they just have to.

Because this: Teacher on call[^]
was my "featured article" today: implying it's one of the best articles we have if you are new to the site...
Perhaps competition entries shouldn't be eligible for "Featured Article" selection until the comp is over and the true dross has been weeded out?

Errm. That competition ended last year mate.
|
|
|

Then dross like that should have been cleared out a long time ago, wouldn't you say?

I was going through my old posts. Take a look at page 13[^]. I see very less posts on this page but I see option to go further. Going further renders a blank page.

I rolled back an edit (because it pasted code in that wouldn't compile, HTML had swallowed chunks in the OP comment) here: C# Displaying Elements of a Nested List[^]
And got an odd message:
"Failed to rollback article. Error:Creation of article file is not enabled . Please try again later."
The rollback had worked fine, though.

It should be "web applications".

We cannot give useful feedback for the author of the blogger,when it's on 'Approve or report this technical blog' section.Why's that ?
Here is the sample (Please check the 'Comments and the Discussion' section at the bottom) : Working with LINQ to SQL

There is a need of undo of somethings like
1) rating of stars of Questions and Answers
2) undo reporting of question
etc

You've been pressing the wrong buttons, haven't you?
No, in seriousness I would agree - particularly on a tablet it's a bit too easy to "miss" the rating and get the wrong one.
