I propose merging the power grid software article into this one.--Anthony 14:58, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Oppose. If Power Grid becomes large enough to document each option, and each other piece of software grows similarly, this page will be huge. --The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 15:07, 6 May 2007 (EDT)
But the power grid article in its current state satisfies the need of the section on it in this article. I say that copying the current stub into this article for now as a summery and leave the original for expansion.--Anthony 15:17, 6 May 2007 (EDT)
If by 'merge' you mean 'copy the content here, but keep Power Grid as an independent page', then I'll Support. --The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 18:29, 8 May 2007 (EDT)


Also, how do you scale down the images?--Anthony 14:59, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

I haven't had any luck with scaling images; I think the only thing to do might be to upload a smaller image. Also, the image you uploaded appears to be broken (i.e. all white). --The Killer Rabbit aka Nevin 15:05, 6 May 2007 (EDT)
It should be fine now. I can see the image on my computer. I will try making a smaller version sometime.--Anthony 15:17, 6 May 2007 (EDT)
