Welcome to RC. Short Circuit should be along presently to "officially" greet you. (I'm not an admin, just another user.)

Just a little side note: when editing, it's polite to include something in the summary that says what you've done -- for example, if you add a new solution to a task, it's nice to put something like "added language" in the summary so that others can see what you've done.

Sorry if this comes across as a bit brusque; I just can't think of a better way to phrase it. -- Eriksiers 08:31, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Gah. I prefer that greeting to be more "personal" than official, and the timing of it depends on when I have a few minutes. :P --Michael Mol 16:14, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Of course; we've already exchanged a couple emails over the last couple days. :) Welcome to Rosetta Code! I'm Mike, and I noticed you created an account.

Some quick things you should be aware of:

Template:Mylang Helps you show what languages you're familiar with, and helps us become aware of skills with languages we haven't seen.
Category:Unimplemented tasks by language A place to find tasks missing solutions in various languages.
Blogs, twitter, facebook... We have them, and are interested in yours.
Special:Webchat Logs you into #rosettacode on the Freenode IRC channel. Not usually the most active communications medium, but occasionally helpful. It's logged at http://irclog.perlgeek.de/rosettacode/today.
Rosetta Code:Village Pump A general Q/A and discussion area.
Rosetta Code:Finances For most of Rosetta Code's history, expenses have been paid out of my pocket. I can't afford that much longer, and so you can see the state of Rosetta Code's finances, and how you may help. If you enjoy or are excited about the site, please consider reading through it.

Sorry for the boilerplate; it can be a bit difficult giving an individual greeting to each person. If you post information about your technical interests and background, I'll probably read it. If you already have put that kind of information on your user page, I probably already have; I'm always interested in how people do and can benefit from Rosetta Code. --Michael Mol 16:14, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Unimpl_page

You might be able to do a conditional text component as "if we're talking about X, add this language-specific text". There may be a way to genericize that, too. I'd poke User:Kevin Reid and User:Mwn3d; they're more fluent with parser funcs than I am. User:Coderjoe or User:Ce might be able to quickly come up with an inline query for all content with a "notes for unimpl in x" property or some such. --Michael Mol 19:52, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
