One suggestion. Maybe this should be converted into an article on standard problems and programs used for teaching computer science. Off the top of my head I could think of the "8 queens problem" (recursion and backtracking) and the "Dining Philosophers Problem" (deadlocks). This could avoid having rather short article on topics like "Hello World" (just redirect Hello World to the new article). --[[User:Markus Baumeister|Markus Baumeister]] 18:56, 12 March 2007 (CDT) | One suggestion.

We'd probably have to break up an article such as that. The WP article for the Dining Philosophers is enormous in and of itself.

Standard CS problems for teaching
One suggestion. Maybe this should be converted into an article on standard problems and programs used for teaching computer science. Off the top of my head I could think of the "8 queens problem" (recursion and backtracking) and the "Dining Philosophers Problem" (deadlocks). This could avoid having rather short article on topics like "Hello World" (just redirect Hello World to the new article). --Markus Baumeister 18:56, 12 March 2007 (CDT)
