Article scope: IoT stuff, is it appropriate here? (see comment)

Absolutely!

I'm thinking of preparing an article here on unboxing and adopting the ESP32-S3 IoT widget which isn't in mass production yet.

I know hacks and tricks to get it to dance the Arduino dance in PlatformIO even though that isn't officially supported yet.

So it's kind of mixed hardware/software thing, and that's where I'm not sure if it would belong here or not.

This would be about getting the software development struts in place to support brand new hardware, but very hardware centric.

Should I post it somewhere else, or do you think it fits within the scope here at codeproject?

It might be a bit, as i have a lot more research to do on this board, but now I'll do that research with writing this article in mind.

Importing or replicating large scale documentation from Github

I'm rebooting The GFX Documentation[^] which used to be covered by GFX Forever: The Complete Guide to GFX for IoT[^] here at codeproject.

I can't just import from github because the documentation is too complicated and large to be a single readme. It needs a TOC and pages to keep it manageable.

I'm trying to think of the best way to - not exactly cross post it here, but create some kind of landing and introduction to GFX here that reflects documentation and integrates it, preferably.

I'm not sure how to go about it. This is kind of a brainstorming question as codeproject github import doesn't remotely support what would be necessary to make this work, nor should it.

But I want something here to replace the GFX Forever article. Or maybe I should just redo that one?

Any of you that have some time to evaluate those links, what would you do?

Thanks for your time!

Does CodeProject owns now article and code I published on it?

I was thinking… once I publish an article on CodeProject, does CodeProject own any copyright rights on that article and code?
Can I publish that article text or code in some other place as well? Use it in my presentation without mentioning CodeProject?
Also, Editor made some changes to the text… spelling, grammar, style changes. That is some work contributed to the article. Who owns copyright now to that version/revision?

Re: Pasting article from MS Word

I see that in article creation form there is a button "paste from Word". I tried it and it preserved/recognized Heading2 as Heading2 html tag and mapped Word paragraphs to <p> html paragraphs.
Is there a rule, which Word style would be mapped into <pre> tag, that is how to present source code in Word text so that it would be mapped into <pre> tag that is used for code in articles html?
I know there are other text editors and I am using Notepad++, but Word has better spell/grammar check....

Writing article that is not programming topic but technology overview

"Paste from Word" does its best, but unfortunately it is not perfect. If you are having trouble with any article editor issues, please save it in composing status and send it to submit@codeproject.com.

I am thinking of writing article that would not be programming topic, but more like a software technology overview of certain domain. With general concepts, definitions, pictures of applications in domain etc. But no code samples or similar. Would this site be a good place for that article, or maybe you can suggest some other place on the net to publish it.

Also, for another article, related to telecommunication wireless IP networking and some technology topics related to it like routing and application experience. Where would be proper place to publish it?

An article that discusses software from a high-level perspective should be OK. But I can only speak as a moderator, so I'll summon @sean-ewington so that you can follow up with him if you're planning an article that doesn't have much of a software angle.

Hi Mark,

Thanks very much for your inquiry and offer. However, I am not sure this topic would be aligned with CodeProject's guidelines. I'm afraid I can't think of a better place to post it. Medium perhaps?

Thank you for your replay. I looked at Medium and it looks very general ... broad topics oriented. I was thinking maybe some IT technology oriented website would be a better match.

There must be at least 20 of them so far. And given the narrow focus of each one, there could be 100 more on the way. Some have formatting issues (images that are too wide), but I guess the central question is whether the site has a problem with this in general. @sean-ewington

This user's blog feed was broken. Last week I helped them fix it and this was the result. Seems like the posts have stopped now. Less than a quarter of the ones that made it through went live. Save for the blog reference at the bottom of the page, none of them have links back to the blog, and all of the formatting issues have been fixed. If you find any entries leftover that you deem too narrow a focus, please feel free to report the article as unclear or incomplete, or extremely poor quality.

Their focus is narrow because they often discuss individual SQL operators. I don't really have a problem with that if, in aggregate, the quality is good. But I don't know SQL, so can't assess that.

I went at these entries for 12 hours, so I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure none of the entries that specifically focused on operators survived. If I am wrong, please feel free to report them.

Hi,

I've submitted my RSS feed, and have the micro tag set, yet the articles aren't being picked up. Can you see anything obviously incorrect?

I am wondering if it's a word count issue. Are the blog entries you're trying to share over 1000 words?

Hi Sean,

The guidlines say the minimum is 1000 characters. Has that changed?

"Note that there is a minimum length of 1000 characters for blog entries"

Most my blog entries are 750 word or greater. I see the rss-feed, just no blog entries.

Kris.

I posted a screen capture of an example of the rel-tag in my first post. You should see all the details there.

If there is more information, please let me know. I can dig it up for you!
