I am now persuaded that wikisource is not an appropriate repository for source code.

ok, let me see if the ML helps...
what shall we do with computer code? http://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Source_code There is still a deletion request on ws.org, it has been there for a long time, and I am not sure what to do...
As a programmer, my opinion is that source code on wikisource is useless. Wikisourceis not a repository for source code, despite its confusing name.
I therefore support deletion.
the only exception would for programs whose interest goes beyond programming (eg quines, or pieces of code that have a historical value)
