[Wikisource-l] computer code

Wed May 3 08:26:42 UTC 2006

I agree that Wikisource is not a place for this in general. If there will be 
a code with some historical interest etc., so then we have an exception and 
the yes, it could stay. But otherwise it would be probably better to have 
such codes elsewhere, e.g. on Wikibooks.
