Wow, finally!

This is a really cool feature ticalc guys! Kudos!

Now, why not tell us the actual number rather than a "low" "medium" "high" thing?

Yes i agree, while this is a huge breakthrough ;) for the programmers who cant wait to see thier work on this site. It would be better i think if you could goto your profile and see "what number" your program had. JUst a thought

A hardcoded "heavy" would do the job, too. Isn't it? Or exist there really other states of the file queue?

LOL!

It might reach "low" during the annual July slump, but otherwise I would expect it to perpetually remain at "heavy."

Cool thing gott try that one day

No, a hard coded "heavy" wouldn't work. The queue does have different amounts of files. Instead it should be a "heavy", "heavier", and "heaviest" with the occasional "Maybe next year." sort of thing. :-)

KOOL!!

Oh Yeah! U guys made my day! A real traffic-thingy... perfect!!

Cool!

but one question...how many programs can be in the queue before it reaches "high" status?

I meant "heavy."

Neat feature, but numbers would satisfy the curious :-)

Also, is preference given for some program categories over others, such as games over math and assembly over TI-Basic?

i wouldnt doubt if they just choose the ones that they thought sounded cool :)... i would

i would hope if they give any preference to files it would be math over games, seeing that the calculator is designed for math not games.

i would also hope that the guys at ticalc show no biased towards file type, which platform, or certain programmer.

I think that you'd just process the files in chronological order. The oldest get added before the new ones. I don't really see any other logical method. The only reason not to do it this way is if a program appears in a news item and there will be high demand for it.

yah, that's what i'msaying. do it in the order recieved. if the file is some new hot "have-to-have" type of thingy that is from a well known and respected author, then it could recieve presidence over other programs. but otherwise just do it in cornological order.

Why don't you make a page where you can download claimed, but not yet added files? (at the user's own risk of course)

Now that is interesting. I've often wondered when my stuff will get on the site. Now I'll know whether to wait a day or five days. Nice feature, thanks guys!

the ticalc archivers seem sporadic about how many they update at at time so I don't see this as an indication of how long you have to wait.

Just curious, but since you guys seemed so loaded down by files, I was wondering if you needed (or wanted) anybody else to help you sort out what files to keep and what to ditch. If you need any help, I'm here.

All your base are belong to us.

I think that this feature could be really usefull. Are we getting into the Zero Wing thing here?

Somebody set up us the bomb!

You know what you doing.
Move 'zig'.
For great justice.

This is my first comment. Can I get the TI-85 version of Phoenix ported to 89? I like it better. I don't think this is very newsworthy.

that was sarcasm.
