   GDNet Dictionary Update
  Update, as in software.Not sure if this is being done along with the new forums, but here are a few suggestions that could be "looked at".- No newlines. Many people that submit stuff often insert newlines, and everything looks fine in the editor window, but when posted, all the newlines vanish and the whole thing looks like a big mess.- No checking for duplicate submissions. It would be nice to perhaps have a folder in the admin page that allows me to see all double submissions, and make my own decision if one or the other needs to be corrected or deleted.- It would be nice to have a submit length of a min of say, 5 words, 20 chars, whatever. This helps with two things: People submitting really short non-helpful submissions, and web-crawlers. My god, web-crawlers make more submissions per week than anybody. And all the posts contain only an IP address.- Weblinks automatically made clickable.- A better submit form that is more...forum-like.- More controls for me. Because I like to press buttons.- Alphabetical sort for catagory list. It is usually a pain trying to guess where one letter ends and where the next begins with the current page-system.- A admin search, that allows me to search by name, content, poster and dictionary ID number.- IP-Address of a poster. Just in case anybody decides to get crazy and attack the dictionary.- A built-in forum...These are just suggestions. You don''t even have to pay attention to what I have to say if you are too busy. I''m just saying some stuff here. I know how busy everybody is. 
  I thought about this for a while. We''re going to end up merging the dictionary with the Wiki project, because it make so much sense. The hard part (for me) is getting other mods to consider merging our Wiki with Wikipedia, or at least referencing it and the Portland Pattern Repository among others (Mathworld?) No point in duplication of effort. ;  I thought staff killed the Wiki idea. ;  Nah, it''s still being talked about. Doesn''t seem to have met a very welcoming reception in the discussion thread, though...
