I've wiped it and written it from scratch with a Roguelike slant.  I think we should avoid Wikipedia rips because it is duplicating information.  We won't get the updates to the Wikipedia entry without having to handle merging any roguelike specific stuff properly.  --[[User:JeffLait|JeffLait]] 22:26, 30 Sep 2005 (CEST)

This looks like a direct rip from WikiPedia. Which is fine. But someone should weed out all the wikipedia hot links, no?

Adding some RL-specific content (like dev issues relating to use of unicode) would be nice too. -user:Shedletsky

Yessir. It was a rip from dictionary.com before it was a rip from wikipedia, so it needed to be changed. I wasn't too interested in rogue-ifying it at the time, so I left it as is. [[User:M|–MT]] 02:24, 21 Sep 2005 (CEST)

This article is waaaaay to long, and waaaaay to unrelated to RL development to be left in it's current form. I think someone (Unicode-wise) should rip this article so it fits one page (or eventualy two). This is one of the fundamental laws of software engeenering -- never duplicate data - why copy from wikipedia if you can provide a link to it?? --Kisielewicz 05:19, 21 Sep 2005 (CEST)
