  • Re: Mystified by 20 year old conferences appearing as "recent"

    On this page: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/
    Under "Recent changes" the first few lines are these:

    August 31, 2025
    Twelfth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference
    Thirteenth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference

    But if you follow the links it turns out that the
    Twelfth conference was back in 2005 and the
    Thirteenth in 2006.

    Also, it seems a pity to me that on this page: https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Tcl+Conferences
    the conferences are listed oldest to newest when
    surely most people would want to see newest to
    oldest?

    Great observation. Please just change it !

    Thanks,

    I'm willing to but cannot login.
    I tried again using the nickname login and that worked
    but won't let me edit.
    Then I tried resetting my password but got no email.
    Then I tried creating a new a/c and again got no email.
    I have a gmail.com address which is normally reliable.
    Sorry.
    I hope, someone may help here...

    So you might have two problems:

    1. The "Recent changes" item in the wiki list those
    pages which were touched least. By editing. It might
    happen, that olden pages get an edit. So they get up
    in the "Recent changes" item. Where's the beef then?

    2. The various conferences are listed in ascending
    chronological order. Which seems logical, isn't it?

    > Except for top postings of course.
    > We used to read things from top to bottom.

    Neither of these are something someone ever complained.

    Now, where precisely is your point?
