I decided to start at the low end with an extensible calculator. I'm writing the design document. I'm a retired mainframe programmer, and not qualified on GUI. So, I'll code the interpreter in C without GUI interface. It will, like other languages, read a program from a file, and output to a file. Hopefully, some sharp GUI programmer will do it so I don't have to learn that skill. I learned the standard posting here includes code, so I thought I should be kosher.
I guess I'm weird, doing a document first.
If Shannon passed your comments, I cannot find them.

Sorry, I can't find anything from you.
I appreciate your interest. I've been working without anyone to discuss the project and needed a reality check. Was I on to something useful, or deluded by my ideas. I've seen so many people have harebrained ideas they thought were valuable, that I was wondering about mine.
Anyway, once they allowed the article on code project, I knew I wasn't totally nuts. Thus, I'm committed to seeing it done, although I'm old enough that my days are numbered. I must trust that others will learn the technology and use it.

If I didn't understand some things wrong... you might start the article and give "co-writer" privileges to certain members, so they can participate or at least read it in all the composing periode without having to publish it.
What I mean... If you don't want to have to publish in order to start getting feedback... that could be a possibility. As far as I know you can still "dimiss" the co-authors once you have got the searched feedback.
In case it came to a "you get dismissed by the other not so nice guy" (which is very unlikely with most of the users but you never know), you might ask in Bugs and Suggestions[^] or directly summon @sean-ewington to get help getting back what is yours.

Oh, I think what you said interests me. I definitely like feedback and more; recognition of contributors is sugar that invites help. If this project goes as I reason, the majority it will be done by several people, and many will help. However, I think my original posting is premature. I'd like a different article, the one I'm currently working on.
I have some questions. Who would be able to edit the article? Would it be possible to replace the article with another file.html, or must changes be done line by line. I'd prefer the master document be mine, created with Libre Office and output in html. What kinds of modifications can be made to such a document on Code Project?
I reread your post, and answered most of my questions. At first the idea of multiple authors didn't click. I'd like recognition, and that depends on others. I'll trust the system.

As long as you keep the HTML very simple and without styles (HTML tags such as H2, P etc are fine) then it's very easy for us to just drop in your file. We highly recommend starting with out HTML Template[^].
When you post, our system may adjust / cleanup the HTML a little, but you can easily then download the full HTML of your article and continue to work on that if you'd like your master copy to be close (if not exactly the same) to what's published.
We can do the editing for you. Email Submit@codeproject.com.

If two people make changes to the same section, is there a typical process for sorting things out?

There is a version control of published / updated articles, but withing the creating phase... I am not sure.
But in my experience if there is a bit communication between the authors (as I think it should always be), I don't think it is going to be a problem
The site has additionally a group of voluntary people called "mentors" you can differentiate them by the icon "bob with a roman togue" (mine is a cop badge because I am protector). And there are professional editors members of the staff.
You don't need to worry, there is always a way to solve whatever pops up. The only thing you need is to give the next step  (you already did the first asking here)

Typically either you post the article using the submission system directly, or you email us the HTML and downloads and we publish it for you. If you post yourself then we may edit it while it's pending approval, and while we're editing the article is locked so no one else can edit. You can revert back to any previous version if you don't agree with an edit.

I've emailed an article, called Mella, an extensible calculator.
|
|
|
|
|
My article is published but I am not able to see the sample project.
|

The code can be accessed with the "Browse Code" option: Downloads: What is new in C#7.1 & C#7.2[^].
But you might want to insert a link in the article text. This can be simply done using the article editor.

|
|
|
|
Look at the articles menu above, it has links to everything you need.

he says the product is free, but then it writes a link to a pricing list?
I don't think he is a spammer, so I didn't report this item in S&A forum, but I do think it is a bit contradictory

I updated my article and marked it as updated. However it is not showing up on the articles page.
Bowling Calculator
Why?

|
|

Do you mean Latest Updates[^]? It shows up there for me.
Maybe caching was to blame.

It finally showed up. Code projects website seems to be extremely slow for me. IDK if it is the new Windows update for malware or the site itself.
|
|
|
|

As I mentioned in the edit of my original reply: it could be caching, which gets refreshed frequently enough (but not that frequently to display the update immediately after performing it).

Are page loads slow or was it the timing of the cache refreshes that are slow?

Seems like both. I had to update my article 3 times before it showed. The site was not very responsive in other areas. For example when I went to look at comments. It is probably just my PC, it is pretty old.

Hey Andy,
Just out of interest, over what time period, roughly, did you update the article those 3 times? The cache expiration is what it is, and so editing multiple times won't speed things up. However, if you had time to edit 3 times then either you're way more efficient than I am, or our cache expiration is way too long to be sensible.
cheers
