[edit] Calculus editors
Thanks for the response. At the moment, I'm focusing on the "Applications of Integration" chapter, specifically the "Volume" section, but as I am sure you know, most of the text needs major work. You should feel free to proofread my work so far (only "Volume" at this point), add your own examples, change the current examples, or work on a completely different subsection.
If there's anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to contact me.

[edit] scope and code
I noticed that you moved scope out of the code path (scope has no real meaning outside of the code concept), the idea was to have the path navigation scheme work for users. I had already streamlined the first chapter and am in a mid process to do it on the second chapter (there is also a undo of a similar nature still needed on the library section, not urgent and still bares some redirects but fixing them would be premature since pages are still in flux). What is your vision ? (the ultimate objective was to make any extraneous navigation schemes unneeded) --Panic (talk) 20:29, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- I was using the TOC as a guide as to where to move pages, so the directory structure reflected the structure shown in the TOC. Thenub314 (talk) 21:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

- As I said in a prev. talk the structure is still in change (except the first chapter), even then there are some introductory parts that were removed and recently where requested again in the content discussion area.
- No big trouble, or a need to revert it. But see C++ Programming/Code/API/Win32 or better yet from chapter 1 C++ Programming/Programming Languages/Comparisons/D on how beneficial it is for navigation. It provides a kick way to backtrack to relevant sections, without a need to do heavy maintenance... --Panic (talk) 23:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- If you are continuing to go down in the structure, remember what I said about the library section it should be inside the compiler path (it was moved "recently", it has a lower priority and needs the original pages deleted to restore the structure ). As I understand you are streamlining the TOC1 but take in consideration that most of the criticism it has suffered or the claim made had probably other motivations (to my knowledge only one of the content contributors expressed a view for restructuring of the book that implied a reorganization of the TOC, further discussions lead to what is now on Understanding C++, with a more restricted scope and audience and few content contributions if any.
- The C++ Programming book has the wider audience of all C++ books, it needs more than average verbosity on toc (the plus side is that it still is a lot better that the Ada Programming (a featured book). --Panic (talk) 23:30, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] My notices
Ah sorry about posting on your user page. I meant to leave it on your talk page. If you check my contribs you'll notice that's what I did for all the other people I contacted. Moby-Dick4000 (talk) 15:27, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
