I am working on an article which is a derived work and licensed under both the Code Project (CPOL) and the Microsoft Reciprocal License (Ms-RL).

The two ELUA's are not compatible, CPOL restrictions against malicious works, and Ms-Rl against comercial works.

So my work is a composit work integrating the two peices of software, do I have to write a composit EULA?

Sigh | :sigh:

Hi,

I can't help you except by saying this forum is not read by the site administrators.

For specific questions and problems that need admin's attention, you really should post in the "Site Suggestions and Bugs" forum, that is the one they scrutinize. I trust Chris knows about the legalese stuff.

Great. That will spare me a couple of redirections a day.
Could you still add a sticky here (and there). Pretty please.

I'm not a lawyer, but if you use code that is licensed then it must abide by the license. If you use two peices of code with 2 licenses in one project then you must abide by both licenses.

restriction against malicious work and restriction against commercial work isn't incompatible. It would simply mean that the final product can't be used for malicous uses or commercial work.

Hi, I have published an article 2 July Implementing sort in a generic collection but is still pending, I'd like to know if maybe there is something wrong with my article.

Thanks for your support

It probably means that the article has been pushed off the bottom of the list. There are only 5 articles visible at any one time and the crap ones tend to hog the top.

No. It means that there are some bad ones at the top. These bad ones need voting off (it's a LIFO system), and that takes multiple votes. This, unfortunately, means that your article has been pushed off the top screen. I've approved it now - so you should be good to go.

Since this forum is on article writing, all I can say is you have the time now to write another one.

Hmm,

Who can vote it out? I wrote an article which I think needs to be reformated, it's a twisted mess, but I didn't know how to convey the message. It is doing better then the first in the series (which has been edited by The Code Project). How do I get a mentor? I have enjoyed reading your posts Luc Pattyn.

I don't get the voting system. I wrote a really basic beginner article, posted to the begginer section and I get 1 votes because it lacks code. Next article I load with code and get no votes. Is a 'no vote' aka 'Kiss of Death'?

Why don't they index bookmarks in the natural log part of the popularity equation?

Next article will be more practical use, but it's a full application. I have been looking at other articles here at The Code Project; many of which get high marks on complex projects, but no code concept explination.

What is the magic mix?

Good Article = (Complex src project) + (Simple Article)

Suspicious | :suss:

Hi,

this is how I see things, others may have a different view:
- a good article is clear and easy to understand, describing something real, with both text and some code (definitely more text than code), and a full source download.
- beginners stuff is tricky, if not sufficiently marked as such, it may get low votes and "nothing new, nothing interesting" notes.
- non-gold members get their articles only shown in a "article needing approval" list on the CP home page, where only gold and upward members can see them and vote and possibly approve for general publication. However the list is a 5-entry LIFO, so newer crap may hide your as yet unapproved gem.
- getting approved but not collecting many votes is a pitty; the approval stage is there so those wise gold members can give you pointers as to how improve your article; following their advice your article should be good and collect decent votes.
- AFAIK bookmarks don't count for anything, however IMO it does not make sense to bookmark something without voting for it.
- articles can be interesting with an emphasis on coding or on application; the former needs to be correct and relevant, the latter gets its merits from realism and getting things done. Both can be equally valuable.

If it's a good article - minutes.

If it needs work then you will get messages in the article explaining what needs to be done to get through moderation, and after you make those changes usually quickly.

If the article is borderline then usually 1 working day.

Hello Community,

I am featuring a an article series on XAML Graphics. The motif is to bridge the gap between Architects, Designers, and Developers. Since I would like to imerse myself in the culture of The Code Project, I would like some voluntiers to mentor my articles. I'm looking for Gold members above who meet the qualifications for Gold based on # of articles submited. An MVP would really be grand.

Here is the link to the Second in the series.

XAML Graphics Series - Part 2 Silverlight 2.0 Desktop Art Animation[^]

Thanks in advance to any willing participants.

Hi,

I don't think I could really help you as English isn't my primary language and me being completely unfamiliar with XAML. I was planning on studying WPF and XAML however a deluge of suckage messages in the lounge have made me avoiding those subjects so far.

Hope some one will come forward and help you though.

Hi All,

I have sent update for two of my articles almost one month back (mid May). Still it has not been updated. Frown | :(

Does anyone know how much time it Codeproject would take to update an article (when the update is sent via email)? Confused | :confused:

I have sent multiple articles reminding them of the same, but no reply.
