I know about Google translate I was not born yesterday. I was asking if anyone here actually spoke the language fluently.

No need to get all defensive. I was not being serious...

I doubt anyone here would actually speak it fluently, unless someone here is a Historian, Archeologist or anthropologist. Not that Latin is a dead language, it is no longer use for regular communication.

I did not mean to come across as serious, I was just being playful.

I have always wanted to learn it, so maybe someone was like me, but had more time and patience to self study a language.
To further derail the thread, http://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pagina_prima
Can we have some kind of access to the archives so we can make our own c++.com apps, I imagine like a file of all the data c++has in say JSON format,

its updated every now and again so I can for example make a practice program that could search or other stuff?

I thought the data swamp was something like that.
I suddenly got the urge to invent a programming language where all the keywords are in latin... A good thing I'm too lazy to actually do that.
I imagine the data swamp to be like this http://www.worldometers.info/

Oria, you would learn a bit of latin and programming you havn't conceived of before you gave up at least

We already have access, why do you need it in JSON format?
Back on topic: I suggest thread-like PM conversations, so once you send a message to someone, replies would appear as in a forum thread.
I hope you get the idea.

I wanted something like the data swamp, but didnt know how it worked.

For the nth time, we don't need a data swamp.

Minor thing I noticed and can't remember if I mentioned it or not is when viewing other peoples profiles you can only see the past 5 posts. Not a big issue but would be nice to be able to see all of their posts like you can when viewing your own profile.

This was done, but it's only for Beginners.

"Source Code" section

I think there must be some strict rules for that to work.
- what license can be used?
- mandatory Doxygen documentation
- strict conformance to either C++98 or C++11
- and the most draconian, the same style for everybody

For the last, a code beautifier tool with a cplusplus.com settings script would help but we'd still need to agree on identifier style etc.

Otherwise we'll end up with code salad, of varying quality and with dubious licensing.

I disagree. Not everyone who comes to this site is new to C++. For example, my first post was on Windows section.

Downloadable Reference/Documentation
This site gets money from ads so I don't think the admin will create a magical button that will let us download the site content.

oops, I didn't see that. Good to know that I'm not only one who wants this feature

And here's a bug: when I try to forward a PM, I get an "access denied" error
Post above edited to add ability to see more posts in the profile pages.
Don't bother me for all the items listed there, they're all your and mine opinions in a single post, it's obvious someone doesn't like something - But as this is a forum it's good to see all opinions.

I'll write descriptions from people near the items.
@Twicker: I found a little bug:

Try to type in a post:


[ s]Test[/ s]
[ s]Test2[/ s]


It will become:
Test Test2

(No newline between them is applied)

This also happens with other tags.

It can be solved by putting the newline AFTER
[ s]

This does not happen in OUTPUT tags.
