Thanks. Sorry for the silence, I went out of town Thursday before last and returned with Hell's own cold virus.

It's OK, no action required, feel free to close. Just thought you might find it interesting since they cite and use your project. It's more about implementation than the algorithms themselves.

[jgamble]

Ouch. They cite my very out-of-date and no longer maintained website. I'm going to have to update the Wikipedia page myself, aren't I? (I've been avoiding that because I'd be updating my own reference, which has got to be questionable practice).

[hoytech]

Hah! I'll edit it for you if you like. Where do you want it to point to?

My comment/plea for the change.

Times changed things a little since I posted that. MetaCPAN has replaced CPAN, then I had to introduce a change to MetaCPAN that didn't strip the SVG diagrams, which means I really should get around to releasing a new version so that the diagrams show up.

Anyway, if you want to change the url from the old ripco page, please use 'https://metacpan.org/pod/Algorithm::Networksort'. I'm not sure what the display text should become. Perhaps "Algorithm::Networksort Documentation".

I probably should set up a separate, easy-to-view, list of what's available. And maybe start up a demo page somewhere (suggestions welcome).

[hoytech]

Done. I put a more descriptive display text: "Tool for generating and graphing sorting networks"

Thanks, that's great.
