Should Haskell, D, C--, and C# be listed on the main page? IMO the list of languages is getting long. They're not the languages used for kernel, let alone systems, programming besides by a small minority. --[[User:Messiahandrw|MessiahAndrw]] 03:59, 23 December 2009 (UTC) |

:I just put them there for the sake of being complete (as there weren't too many anyhow), but I agree it's a bit crowded and long. We could stick to only putting the main languages on the main page (ASM, C, C++). --[[User:Creature|Creature]] 10:31, 23 December 2009 (UTC) |

:'''Agreed''', C-- is in disuse, C# is not supported, and Haskell is definately not supported by the community. The language tab is already complete as it was - There's a [[:Category:Languages|more]] link for the daring ones (or idiots) in case they do want something else. Also, I'd consider it unwise to promote such "esoteric languages" at the front page - it would only lead to more clueless people who just happen to know that language without the needed fundament. I see no advantages in keeping this week's change. - [[User:Combuster|Combuster]] 17:56, 23 December 2009 (UTC) |

os dev image
do you thing we should change welcome to osdev.org to a image? --Stinkfly 04:10, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
I personally don't think so. Any particular reason why it should be? All I see is a tonne of images not loading for some people, added bandwidth (quite a few forum members are still on dialup), etc. Of course, I welcome the argument against me. Yayyak 06:39, 24 August 2007 (CDT)
- Agreed. There is as far as I can see no reason that the text box is not suitable, and the overhead of having an image is larger and less supported. - Combuster 04:38, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
Combine the header templates into one?
I had the thought of combining the three templates for the header into one (or use one that just includes the other three) so it's easier to edit and add the header templates. Just shaves a few steps off the time needed to play with the templates. --Troy Martin 02:49, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe it would also be a good idea to put a link to the IRC Channel chat page on the main page, to make people notice it. I didn't even know we had one until I looked at the orphaned page list! --Creature 16:33, 28 August 2009 (GMT + 1)
languages
Should Haskell, D, C--, and C# be listed on the main page? IMO the list of languages is getting long. They're not the languages used for kernel, let alone systems, programming besides by a small minority. --MessiahAndrw 03:59, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- I just put them there for the sake of being complete (as there weren't too many anyhow), but I agree it's a bit crowded and long. We could stick to only putting the main languages on the main page (ASM, C, C++). --Creature 10:31, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed, C-- is in disuse, C# is not supported, and Haskell is definately not supported by the community. The language tab is already complete as it was - There's a more link for the daring ones (or idiots) in case they do want something else.
