Hey, thanks for this script. It's an interesting start, at least. A couple |
| 26 |
of points: |
| 27 |
1) Your copyright notice is kind of hidden in the html <head> tag. I |
| 28 |
couldn't |
| 29 |
immediatedly identify the author when looking at the code. I don't |
| 30 |
think |
| 31 |
you can copyright the output anyway... |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
2) As it stands, the code is not much use to me because of the copyright. |
| 34 |
If |
| 35 |
you'd license it under your favorite Open Source license, this would be |
| 36 |
pretty |
| 37 |
handy. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
3) It outputs everything in the order found, which makes it hard to browse. |
