Some "I need a Procedure"-Board?
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 3:08 pm
Hi there. 
First I have to say sorry for my english, I don´t know if it´s good enough to make you understanding me. School is gone since 2 years now :roll:
Here is the Topic
When surfing through "Feature Request & Wishlist", I often see those "BlablablaCommand()" - Requests and I asked my self, if it wouldn´t be better to create a Subforum like "I need a procedure" or something like this.
My reason
1.)Those "Feature Request and Wishlist" seems to be a "Fred/Freak, please do it"- Board. People say "I want it" , people say "I don´t need it". But noone says: "Here it is, just for you".
2.)Posting those requests under Codingquestions makes people answer like "You could do it like this" without posting the finished Procedure.
In my opinion, there are some good things that would come with a "I need a procedure"-Board:

Please don´t understand me wrong
-Of course, "CodingQuestions" is not a "Please give me a finished Code"-Board.
-And of course, a programmer should write his own programs
-But these "I need a command"-Requests are nothing else than this in my opinion.
-And another question is if it is always a bad thing to ask for someone to write some code for you. For me, some parts of coding are just a piece of pain. And since programming is just a hobby, it´s a question if you/I really have to take this pain, if there are people, who like those things, I don´t like.
In my opinion, there are some good things that would come with a "I need a procedure"-Board:
1.)It could free the "Feature-Request and Wishlist"-Board of those topics.
2.)It could be easier for people to ask for those things. In "Feature Request and Wishlist", they are often ignored, so that you don´t get, what you need. In this board, you could ask without someone telling you "Do your crap on your own, bastard".
3.)Having a look at the "I need a procedure"-Board could give you a little job to do if you´re bored.
4)I don´t know in how far there are commercial projects in PB, but this board could help you make some $ in between. ("zwischendurch").
5.)In my opinion, it´s not Freds job, to implement more and more functions and libraries. Those are things, everyone of us could do. Freds job should be to work on the compiler, I mean on this program, we can´t work on, because we don´t have the source.
How should postings look like
1.)What do I need
2.)What will I give you for your help
3.)Will this code be open/free to use.
OK, that´s my opinion, now I want to hear yours.
