Logo image scrolling backwards

Dear computer programming portal,

Why is your logo scrolling backwards? I suppose it should resemble text or code scrolling on a screen, shouln't it? --88.217.165.166 (talk) 07:31, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@88.217.165.166: I made a reversed version –

. Guys, will we use it? --Rezonansowy_akaRezy (talk | contribs) 12:37, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I don't see how one direction is different than the other, in the same way that I don't see how ascending sort order is better than descending. Of course, changelogs list the latest items first. Let's stick with the original. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 19:13, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was not moved. --BDD (talk) 21:48, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Computer programming → Portal:Software development – Software development seems to be the more generic term for this kind of activity. The term computer programming is usually more specifically targeted towards dealing with programming implementation aspects alone.

Within software engineering, programming (the implementation) is regarded as one phase in a software development process.

Other options include renaming to Portal:Software engineering. Relisted. BDD (talk) 16:46, 24 September 2013 (UTC) 50.53.15.59 (talk) 21:28, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This strikes me as a change in scope, not a simple rename. It seems like we should require a consensus to expand the scope before taking the technical step of changing the title. Powers ^T 21:10, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is exactly why I listed it for renaming and did not just move to renaming it via less controversial means. 50.53.15.59 (talk) 12:57, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose we should just build a new portal for SoftDev, and SoftEng is definitely a different topic altogether, and should not be renamed to that. Computer programming is just coding, SoftDev means addressing what is the focus of a project, why are you making such an application, what are the human-interface concerns. SoftEng is a process, including documentation, and ISO-9001 stuff; also Computer Science needs a separate portal from these three topics. -- 70.24.249.39 (talk) 06:01, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
