RE: Garbage In Useful Out Programs
(@utopian-io) I would like to clarify what would be appropriate on Utopian. Being new to it. Please bear with me for a moment.
Consider academic, MIT Media Lab type projects. Each task is to build a short program. The algorithm and spec are given like in this case. (It could be given in TLA+, etc.)
It seems to me that I followed the rules, the task requested being to build a concrete program specified in the post.
Yes, contributers are also requested in passing at the beginning and at the very end. However, that was not the task request. That was just there, and if it breaks the rules I can entirely remove the request for contributers from the post.
The task was to code a short program, algorithm given. Most of the tasks that are approved I see are: write a script that does X, make art, design a website, make a bot that does Y. Isn't supplying the algorithm to be implemented more concrete, rather than less, when requesting for code?
Should I remove the request for contributers from the post, and resubmit the task?
Regarding the removed links: html markup connecting sections of the long post to each other. Would help with navigation. But it didn't work on Steemit. -- If you can suggest markup code for bookmarks and menus within a webpage that does work on Steemit, if any, I would be grateful.
The problem with your contribution is that there is no existing project on GitHub. On Utopian it is required to relate to an existing open source software project or to create a new one. Utopian is currently closely connected to GitHub, which is why we have to enforce such rules. This might change in the future but probably not anytime soon.
