Talk:Data Coding Theory/Data Compression

Copy the text of wikipedia over here and append more information later?
 * That is called "Forking", and is against policy. You are more then welcome to adapt information from the wikipedia article, but you shouldn't copy it directly. Plus, this page doesnt want to be the definative source to lossless compression, only a quick overview with links to better resources. A complete coverage of the material is outside the scope of this book. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 13:50, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

For people who want to talk about data compression algorithms, and perhaps share test harnesses and example code, saying "don't talk about data compression" is a little rude. Would it be better to create a Wikibook dedicated to data compression, or to point them to one of the wiki dedicated to data compression? --DavidCary (talk) 23:37, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
