On that note -- I think it would be great to have a section in the wiki page for Example Code that has links to FG examples that are in the Code Repository or elsewhere on the net. "Talk is cheap, show me the code"!

That brings up a good point, how do we list example code that can be referenced in the Wiki? Should it be loaded into the code repository where one user has ownership, or loaded with the wiki where the code sample could be modified by other users?

I don't think the LAVAcr is a good place to put code snippets that you want to have there just to refer them to the wiki, but I don't mind wikis referrring to LAVAcr code that belongs there. I think it's a case-by-case basis thing: if it would normally belong in the LAVAcr without a wiki article, then go a head and submit it, but it not, then attach it to the wiki.

Besides, the idea of a wiki is so that everyone can edit the content, and I figure that code is part of the content.

I would like to suggest that we put a moratorium on uploading code to the LabVIEW Wiki for a while. One thing I don't like about actual code, is that the reader must have that version of LabVIEW installed on their machine to get benefit from the information provided. Usually, article concepts can be introduced and explained with simple code snippets. These can easily be made into screen shots that can be included at the right spot in the article. This is the preferred method.

On the other hand, I think that linking to external web pages where example code is available is acceptable. This can be to code in the CR or anywhere else.
