DLL Status Links

Post by ulberon »

Are the links being maintained? I would say easily half of them are invalid.

Correct. It's hard to impossible to accurately estimate completion of each dll and their status.

I'm sorry, I mean the links to the API documentation. That if you put next to a dll (50%) and I would want to see if there is something I can help with, you click the link for API documentation and the link is invalid....

If they are links to a Microsoft (MSDN) page I wouldn't be surprised much if they don't work. Microsoft is known to delete API documentation pertaining to older versions of Windows. (They don't want anyone to develop applications for older versions of Windows.)

The landscape changes frequently too. http://www.google.com/microsoft might be a good friend.

Additionally MSDN pages don't render well in many browsers. Opera is one of the few that works. Wine's Gecko (iexplore.exe) seems to render them well which is interesting because Firefox doesn't. They sure don't make it easy.

But yes, someone should run through there and try to fix the links (I'm sure patches are welcome as usual :D).
