I believe the item of checking in the Makefiles for primary target failing resulting in building the alt version (where desired) is now done so this has also been removed from the todo file.

A todo list of known things to check and/or do

This document is primarily for Cody Boone Ferguson as he (that is I :-) ) wanted a way to keep track of things in a way that did not require the information getting lost in the thousands of changes in the repo and because it might be too much to add to the todo list in the issues themselves.
More things will likely be added over time and as items are done they should be removed from the list IF AND ONLY IF (!!) we are absolutely certain it is done (many times it's thought that a task was done only to find out it wasn't). It is hoped that this will be referenced and updated as this is an easy way to keep track of things that have been done already and what hasn't been done (in this file the case is mostly NOT been done).
-
Typo fix ALL markdown files. For the README.md files the entries have all been done (along with format fixes) but the YYYY/README.md files have not been completed. See below item for details on that (several items in this file refer to those).
-
Go through all year README.md files: that is 1984/README.md, 1985/README.md and so on. As of Mon 16 Oct 11:22:52 UTC 2023 the following years have had a first pass: 1984 through 2001. However there are changes that are required namely to do with email addresses that no longer exist. At this point it is not determined if this will be done with the typo pass (what should be the final pass) or not but it's very possible that it can be just to speed things along.
-
Check the GitHub issue #3 comment 1615962832 for links about the todo items wrt the FAQ.
-
Check 2001/westley for making
main()have two args. Easy to make it have two args but harder to make it function right. -
Check for video links in README.md files and see if the videos can be embedded into the README.md files themselves. An entry that the video file is downloaded already is 2006/sykes1. There are others that I need to look at once the rest of the entries are done, assuming that it's possible.
-
Although I will have to do this when another issue is opened up I am aware of some issues in 2020/ferguson1/.winner.json. I do not want to forget this, however, so I am noting it here. A reference to a file in 2020/ferguson2 is in 1992/buzzard.2. This type of thing will have to be checked for all entries in the new issue.
-
Verify that all entries that should have (or could be benefited by) a try script do in fact have one. Also verify (mostly in earlier years) consistency in the way it is displayed and interactivity. The later years are probably done better.
