Ryan, UFP2161, bugzpodder, and I started off a wiki site for all things algorithms at:
http://www.algorithmist.com
Any helpful contributions/comments would be great! Thanks!

Hi,

Nice idea.But I think you have to decide on one thing, what you want to do with this page. The scope is not clear.If you are walking the steven halim path I would say dont do that.There are already too many pages that have profited from that idea.And I think you are good enough to realise that.The dependancy on uva & other problemsets kind of mars an otherwise talented effort.The cause and effect relationship is not very distinct.

I have always wondered where I can get a good algorithm repository online,
the stony-brook and nist sites come to mind first.But in general we rarely have a satisfactory explanation of the algorithm, related concepts etc.I would rather suggest that you take that up(yes I saw that you already did

).

One more thing I could not find anything on bfs-dfs and in general search algorithms, heuristics ?Can I help ?

Regards,
Suman.

It's a wiki, which means anyone can help edit it, all you need to do is register an account!

That looks like a pretty cool site. Maybe I'll comment on a few of my favorite problems.
