Space restrictions??? Examples future.
MYX:
One thing that I would ask is that we make loud and clear in the New Project submission page...That project submissions should only be for completed projects, not the intention of perhaps doing a project.

* "Interface Type" could easily have checkboxes for the most common Ultimarc & GGG interfaces, as well as the AKI, SJC, Druin's, MK-64, etc., instead of allowing the builder to type in the interface type. You know people will spell things differently, so that a search doesn't work right: "I-Pac", "IPAC", I-Pac2", "Ultimarc I-Pac"...

Perhaps a final tick box marked other with a form next to it. This way if there is something not on our scope, they can still add it.

I like this idea. Would it somehow do an average of all ratings?
I remember way back when I did my desktop project, that I was a little frustrated with the submission page because it felt very restrictive and boxed in. Now, speaking out my butt, as I do not know about building forms and php and all the look up stuff, so that being said... How hard would it be to give the user a bunch of different topics like the list -o- stuff I put earlier in the thread? To have the submission page actually generate not just a data file, but an actual page. So each submission has a "Flyer".
Then I will ask... How can I help? I know HTML, learning wiki, excellent at photoshop and graphics in general (part of what I do for a living). I am pretty sure that the form and function of the submission page is outside of the range of the HTML. But if the submission page generates data that then gets sucked into a template page, the template page needs to be designed. Yes? But then again I am rectumly speaking, and do not know the intricacies involved.

MYX, Made a example page in a talk page, how it could been setup. The layout must been done, before submitting all valid projects. or using the Template:Example to work with.
--- Quote ---Then, a bot or a person (I could do this fairly easily with cut and paste) would click on each wikilink to create the wiki entry, paste the searchable text, and go on to the next one.
Truthfully, the program will be very easy to write and creating a bot will be more difficult than just manually updating each project wiki page. I work with CSVs all the time.

No it not so hard than you trouch, because the bot simply not needed to click on the link. It simply open a page, that can edit the page automatic, let autohotscript add the text, and then submit.... Im going to made this part not. But I does wait until the design are finished, because it would the same design in all projects.

saw the file, but forgot to download it. Please PM it, otherwice I do not have a chage to convert it anyway.
saint:
SirWoogie's going to post it again I believe - the version that was up was a corrupted .zip file.
Space Fractal:
The bot is nearly finished. Only get submit to "work".
Autohotkey was not even needed.
All is processed by Blitz+ and is pretty safe, because can wait for the page is loaded finished and can run javascript in html gadget.
Sweet.
" is the only char that should not been used in text (would been removed).
