New Programming Tasks

If you have an idea for a programming task, mention it here; we'll help you work it out and get it posted. --Short Circuit 08:44, 11 January 2007 (PST)

Why have both this category and Category:Solutions by Programming Task?

Surely just one category is sufficient? --IanOsgood 11:25, 13 September 2007 (MDT)

Seconded --Mwn3d 23:26, 4 December 2007 (MST)

I don't know why, for certain. I did notice that not all of the tasks in this category are in Solutions by Programming Task, though. I prefer the "Solutions by" naming scheme, myself. --Short Circuit 09:32, 5 December 2007 (MST)

There's value to both; one is just a collection of all tasks, and the other is organized more by theme. –Donal Fellows 16:30, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Donal: Both lists are useful. One is alphabetical, the other is grouped. We just need a link to the categorized list in the left hand column now. I suggest we have "By Category" under the word "Tasks" in the left hand column.

Sort programming tasks

We really need to have the ability to sort the programming tasks not only alphabetically but also chronologically. As it stands now, it's almost impossible to know which programming tasks have been added (or updated) recently. It's also difficult to know whether a task you have suggested has been accepted and added as an 'official' task for others to start solving. Francogrex 8:05, 10 Sep 2011 (UTC)

To solve the first problem we have this link from the main page. For the other one I just watch Special:RecentChanges to see when a task gets created. You can get an RSS feed for that or just reload it all the time (which is what I do). --Mwn3d 14:08, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
