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)
Just thought! I could make a mediawiki theme for osdev.org with not many images --Stinkfly 13:22, 21 September 2007 (CDT)
If you read the previous replies, you should have noticed a preference for an absence of images. - Combuster 04:03, 24 September 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)Reply[reply]

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)Reply[reply]

  • 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)Reply[reply]
