Contributions are actually encouraged. I recall that the site contains a wiki, so that anyone can add his own comments/suggestions in order to improve the implementations. Concerning the idea of zipping the source codes as a measure of code length, I find it quite good, as the zipped code is less sensitive to code layout than a pure line count and is a decent measure of the information conveyed. In the opposite, just counting the number of characters is probably worse than line count, as it would lead to extremely compact unreadable code for languages like C or Perl (we all know Obfuscated C and Perl contests). _____________________________________________________________________ Envie de discuter en "live" avec vos amis ?
