Preparation does not fit the chapter either, so I took the liberty to change it to "Compiling" (basically, the preparation is done in the support calls section, all you are doing within that chapter is configuring and compiling newlib). - [[User:Combuster|Combuster]] 15:09, 17 September 2007 (CDT) |

Neutral
Really? 'Neutral'? For something to be neutral, I was under the impression that there had to be a disagreement about it. How, by any meaning of the word, is using 'Genesis' not appropriate as a synonym for 'Beginning'? Moreover, in DMA, using Genesis makes the article a little more together due to it's style. I should say it's perfectly acceptable. Such edits seem to cause quite the opposite of the intent. --Alboin
How is using a religious terminology at all related to what we do on this site? I made sure that my choice of words were clear and descriptive. "Genesis" might not be very clear to non-English speaking Wiki browsers. Change it back if you disagree. I personally think the DMA article and any others should not contain such "speculative" information, Audits anyone? ;-) --Brynet-Inc 18:15, 16 September 2007 (CDT)
The DMA article is written like it is a bible story, so it should be Genesis. It fits, and it works. Non-English speakers should have some idea of what Genesis means (the bible is the most read book, after all). I don't see any offence towards non-Christians, either. It's a humourous reference, not like it's being preached. On the other hand, in Porting Newlib, it should be Preparation. It's not Genesis, it doesn't fit, and it's not at the beginning.
