ticalc.org Features
Posted by Nick on 6 March 2000, 03:08 GMT

Remember back in the day when people would write features for ticalc.org and they would get posted by the news editor and everyone would discuss them and such?
Well.. yeah. That's back now (in fact, it never left *g*). In light of that, anyone - and I mean ANYONE - who wants to write an (intelligent/informative) article for ticalc.org can do so. The only real criteria are as follows:

It has to pertain to calculators ;-)
No naughty words (for obvious reasons)
Sent as an email attachment to news@ticalc.org with the subject line "Feature: [title]"
Your article can be about just anything: hardware, math stuff, or even how the calculator works. Programming tutorials would be very nice, too. :)

Be creative. Use HTML to enhance it, but don't be excessive (re: usage of BLINK and MARQUEE tags). If you do so, send it as an HTML file. Don't use other fonts; instead, use TT or PRE tags if you're citing code.
Articles are subject to posting at our discretion (duh). Opinionated articles are entertained, too, but within reason. :) We're very excited to see what people have to write in the future.

Good idea, but let's say perhaps someone has a TI-related web site, and they just made a new design for it, and want to tell people about it. Would that be a relevant topic worthy of being posted? If not, I won't even bother with it. Oh, and let's say I made a new, totally awesome version of Neo-Fighters, and wanted to tell people about that. Would that be worthy of posting? One more question... How does a program become a feature program? BTW, you guys have an awesome site. Keep up the good work!

It depends. It would be posted, but not as a feature. Dim-TI reopening wasn't a feature, was it? :) --BlueCalx

> How does a program become a feature program? The way I understand it is that a program can become a featured program in 2 ways: 1: A ticalc.org member (like Nick) thinks that it really rocks hardcore and he decides to feature it. 2: Someone who really likes the program sends a nice email to featprog@ticalc.org. A member then reads it and decides whether or not the program is worthy of becoming a ticalc.org featured program (tm) Steve Whittaker

Haha... very clever! You seem to know the girl I like that keeps ignoring me, but you can't be Sheena Thomas. She is totally computer incompetent. I am no imbecile. Do not test my patience. You have been warned...

By the way, last comment... How often will a feature be posted on the ticalc.org site? Every day? week? month? year? DECADE? It would be sensible to post one each week. I'd be VERY choosy however... Especially with users like TheEvilSheenaThomas... ;-)
