I figure, since you're all scripters here with me, you might benefit from my previous exploration of the server and client methods and events and whatnot. So, if you guys want to see the code I used in RBXPri, just post on this thread that you want to see it, and I will post some links to the code.
This is a voluntary thing, since RBXPri is pretty defunct now, and I just want y'all to benefit from my legacy. So just reply if you want to see the code. |

| It'd be more useful if you could help documenting how ROBLOX's server stuff works on the wiki. Nobody likes digging through code and reading through it. |

Unfortunately, it seems I'm the only person in this forum who cares about the wiki, but yet I'm the only person who isn't on the wiki because the staff won't let me get back on it.
I mean, look at the wiki's recent changes. Since I've been kicked off the wiki (more than a year ago), I've always frequently looked at the changes, and I pretty much haven't missed a single change that has happened on the wiki. The wiki is tremendously inactive. Nothing is being done, nothing is being improved. I've seen more than one year's worth of changes on a wiki I cannot even edit on anymore, and the inactivity there is disappointing. I want to help... but I can't, and whenever I attempt to get other people to improve it, it seems they just don't really care about the wiki. |

I'm serious. Most of the wiki now is Legend26 and others updating the API dump and adding or removing members from objects correspondingly to the API dump changes. Other than that, there's been very recent stuff being done about the change log (today and yesterday). There have also been some minor edits to documentation, but that's it.
Just look at this: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hideminor=1&days=28&limit=500&namespace=0
It's all the activity that's been happening in this whole month, which will be over tomorrow. |

I second ColorfulBody's "nothing is being improved." The random terrain page looks like it was made before the terrain object was introduced. There are lots of references to algorithms, but they don't have a page at all (like Simplex and Perlin Noise). If I was a wiki writer, that'd change real fast; I'd update all the outdated and absent algorithm pages on the wiki.
But it'd be better to release documentation with your code, instead of just the code itself. Otherwise, you just have a bunch of code and people are going to think "tl;dr" the whole time. |

| Isn't RBXPri just running gameserver.ashx with a specific port? Does it actually need anything else to work, other then the level 7 command bar which is more of a feature. |

Regarding the wiki, I really have no idea what's going on/what we should be doing besides a few arbitrary goals. I'd love to start using anaminus's version of the api pages or at least a version without those tabs and move everything to the API namespace, but it's not like I'd get help with doing so and may even get yelled at. As to tutorials...there's too many for me to want to bother with.
I personally view the wiki as a manual landmine where the people with the detonation buttons only show up occasionally. Not a good view. |

@Legend26
Anaminus' API specification cannot be implemented yet because the wiki doesn't have the Scribunto extension. |

I know. :(
Also, am interested in legacy blocco code too. |

If you guys really bug the developers for me to get my wiki permissions back, I can post the code on the wiki.
I don't want to pastebin it though, I'd rather either post it in this thread or on the wiki.
The problem with posting it here is that the forum doesn't have any formatting. If it's possible for you guys to bug the devs, it would mean a lot to me, and you would get to see my code in one spot forever! :D |

I found http://gist.gisthub.com/ I've never used it, so I hope it will suffice.
Anyways, I'm in the process of documentation now. |

| You can use GitHub gists. They're basically Git repositories, but they can be embedded, and the web interface GitHub provides for them is less cluttered. Generally, when you have a single file, a gist is what you want, but when you have many files, you want a repository. In this case, I think a repository may be better. |

| I_can_promote you to editor on the wiki. Just editor (can't change writer permissions). Not even sure why the permissions are set up so that I can do that. Still, no idea what gordon would do if I did. |

| A writer's permissions are a subset of an editor's, so if you were to make me an editor, I could put my stuff on the wiki. |
