Talk:The Computer Revolution

A number of the chapters in this book are improperly named (i.e., not as chapters but as books), and need to be moved to the book space.

If they're not moved, they're likely to be mistaken for articles and/or definitions, and could end up deleted. -- SB_Johnny | talk 00:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Important Persons
I'm worried that the titles refer to technologies rather than concepts and persons. The folk history, particularly of the personal computer era, is full of famous names. Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates, Lee Felsenstein, Jef Raskin, Brenda Laruel, Alan Kay, Richard Stallman, Doug Englebart, Ted Nelson, Chris Crawford, Alan Turing, Ada Lovelace, Charles Babbage, Grace Hopper, John McCarthy, Vint Cerf, Len Kleinrock, John Draper, Kevin Mitnick, Michael Hauben, and hundreds of others.

Conventions
I moved this from the timeline page, since no one adopted and I see it as extremely hard to implement some innovations are in multiple fields for instance the Internet was both a software and a hardware innovation.

The proposal was that in the timeline page the:

Color codes:
 * orange will be used for hardware entries.
 * green will be used for system software entries.
 * red will be used for Internet entries.

Should be used. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 10:14, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Introduction to Python - text seemed added to wrong page
An anonymous editor added text about Python to the page on Object Oriented Programming, overwriting the previous text concerning OOP. I think they intended to create a new page, but only made a new link to the OOP page by mistake. I have reverted the edits to the OOP page, and corrected the link to the page on Python so that the author can add their text again to the correct page. I have not done this myself as it could confuse the attribution of the material to the correct author, but the Python text is still accessible in the page history of the OOP page.
