Hi, for those interested and have a mozilla-browser (it's not working on Opera nor on IE for now) at hand can take a preview look at the new snippet page design which covers the following things I already announced: - Multiple Langs in one Page - Folding (mark parts of your snippet folded => better overview) - Internal Linking
As already said in my idea we need to rethink our snippet. At the moment our concept is language-oriented (reflected even in our snipped-DTD) but it should be as we now it should problem-oriented (How to solve this special API-Task in any language). http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/preview.html We will also retain the old language based structure but maybe we should also create Problem-Categories where snippets are part of as n:m-relationsship between snippet and category.
