Bugs and Suggestions

Are you applying 'robust statistics'?

1. Snippets are organized by language.
   
   
2. Images are not allowed in a snippet article.
   
   
3. There is no download in a snippet article - readers can cut and paste from snippet page, maybe with help of special "Copy" button. (Copy button would also facilitate keeping track of usage).
   
   
4. Snippets must be standalone - not require any third-party non-free library or SDK. Dependence on things like boost/WTL/MFC or other freely available library is OK, and should be stated in environment (see Snippet Wizard below). Snippets that are useless without purchase of vendor products are not allowed.
   
   
5. Each snippet has its own forum just like articles.
   
   
6. Each snippet has rating just like articles.
   
   
7. Snippets accrue points for authors just like articles, at the rate of 10 snippets = 1 article.
   
   
8. You can bookmark and watch snippets just like articles.
   
   
9. Member page should have Snippets Submitted link just like Articles Submitted.
   
   
10. There could be "best snippet" monthly competition.
    
    
11. Snippets are small and compact, and the UI to view/search for a snippet should be the same. In mockup, note there are two lines per snippet plus one blank line. The idea is to view as many snippets as possible in available space.
    
    
12. You should be able to specify how many snippets you want to view per page, and how they are sorted - see mockup. You should be able to remain on Snippet main page to do searches, sorting, etc.
    
    
13. The Snippet Submission Wizard should be very streamlined. There should be a (limited) space for author's comments, platform dependencies, and compile/environment requirements (e.g., "COM must be initialized before function is called", "Function only works on Vista", "Platform SDK must be installed", etc.). Snippets have a title, but no description field.
