Code Snippets
Code Snippets
Before the Code Snippets forum starts getting questions, I would suggest that its title be chanced to something like "Code Snippets - for working code only".
Re: Code Snippets
When you go into Code Snippets, it does say very clearly at the top of the forum
- Forum rules
For sharing working examples of macros / scripts. These can be in any script language supported by OpenOffice.org [Basic, Python, Netbean] or as source code files in Java or C# even - but requires the actual source code listing. This forum is not for asking questions about writing your own macros.

Re: Code Snippets
+1 with Terry.
I had not seen where was the emphasis exactly: on the possibility of misposted questions or something else ?
As the section about macros is just above (in the forum index), I think the distinction between questions and examples sections is rather clear.

Re: Code Snippets
Judging by the experience on oooforum, the clearer the purpose of the board, the better. I agree that a change to the board title would be better than any number of tags, sub-headings or stickies. I incline to something like "Working code repository" or "Code Snippets (no questions)".

Re: Code Snippets
I think that the Code Snippets forum needs some improvements, too:
- Although Code Snippets says its purpose very clearly at the top of the forum, something like "Code Snippets - (working code only/no questions)" would be better.
- Where should someone post working Java code snippets? They don't fit in "Extension Repository" and "Macro Repository".
