I wonder about the subject of kernel. should there be an article on that? or should it be interwoven with operating system or should it be a subpage to operating system?? Im wondering this since Ive seen many links to kernel, and wonder if the plain title kernel is appropiate?

If you're not sure, make it a top-level page. It can always be redirected to a subpage later. At some point the Wiki Gnomes will be putting in 0.92 of useModWiki and doing a lot of renaming and other housekeeping in the process. I'm guessing that any gratuitous redirects will get cleaned up then as well. --loh (2001-07-27)

OK, so IEEE is not 100% computer-oriented, and the ISO deals with other things, but rather than removing the links, perhaps put down information regarding them instead? And if we want to get nitpicky about it, ASC deals only with how computers impact surveying, so perhaps that should be moved underneath "Businesss Computing" instead of "Professional Organisations"?

Sorry for stepping on your toes. I actually did add info regarding IEEE. The situation is more complicated with ISO, not only is it primarily non-computing (it is the #1 global standards body!), it is also not a "professional organization" in the usual sense. Yaronf 22:31 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC)

You're right in that ISO is not entirely computing, but they have released some of the most influential standards for comuting, such as MPEG, as well as standards for how to manage programming/computing projects. It's true that they're not a "professional organisation" in the usual sense, but they certainly need some sort of "honorable mention" on this page ... TimmyD 04:42 Apr 30, 2003 (UTC)

I hope the latest version does it. Yaronf 07:57 Apr 30, 2003 (UTC)

Oooo ... I like that ... now why didn't I think about creating a separate section for Standards? lol TimmyD 08:10 Apr 30, 2003 (UTC)

It would be great if someone would write an article to go with this list of links? Perhaps I'll have to put up some WikiMoney --(talk to)BozMo 10:33, 23 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
