I'm missing words to express my THANKS !  

👴

No idea about zpm.
Just a guess: if not listed or in a PKG it won't be touched
BUT this loads and compiles it 

set tSC=$system.OBJ.Import(fileref,"ck")

Congratulations to the winning participants.  👍

1️⃣ When you joined the Developer Community and how you first discovered it.

I joined in 2017, and it was by accident.
Looking for help to work around a problem caused by "academic ignorance".
    Some linguistic university experts for German language up in sky, far from reality, decided:
    "S_sharp"  ß (a lowercase only character for hundreds of years)
    will be also an uppercase character from now on.
No one cared about the impact to sort orders, code conversions, pattern match. regular expressions, ...
My cry for help:
German collation of ß in upper and lower case
In DC I got help and advice within a few hours on how to escape
until a new release or bug fix might have an official solution.

Exploring DC was another big surprise for me.
It was rather similar to a proposal I had done in 2005
and  I was massively pushed back by service managers at that time.

DC covered and extended my basic intentions
I fell in love immediately and still feel like a proud grandfather
observing his successful growing grandchildren.

2️⃣ A meaningful moment or story from your personal journey here.

It was somewhat longer than a moment, though just a single trigger.
The challenge was to start working with Docker in some OEX package
Before that, I was rather resistant to publishing complex examples.
The effort to describe a complex setup and not having control
over implementation was rather significant.
With Docker I had a reproducible environment and no traces or remaining
junk after termination.

Another extra was learning to produce videos of my examples for contests.
I never did it before and still don't have any private videos on Youtube.

3️⃣ An article, question, or discussion you consider especially valuable

There are two recent articles that moved me most:
The Wait Is Over: Welcome GoLang Support for InterSystems IRIS + followers
and
Reducing the Footprint of the Docker image of IRIS Community Edition

It's 2 times the same authoring engineer, and what he presents matches my
personal understanding of what quality software system engineering is like:
- precise and detailed analysis
- detailed and fully through tested code before release
- 2 top-class projects

My personal sorrow:
There are groups that may force out the results just because of the
"NOT INVENTED HERE" mentality in some areas.
I speak based on personal experience after being attacked following
a backport of %JSON classes to Caché some years ago.

Pre-Xmas in Vienna

You got the point.  Before means "before this century" 
before CSP / WEBstack, .. were introduced 
There were INT routines in %SYS with lots of $ZU() and $VIEW(). Device 63 was quite busy. 
Most are unknown today. But some are still around and still work.  
It's not as rigid as GlobalDB was / (is?)  but has some similarity.

Cache 2024.1  ????

I'm delighted !
I publish my OEX review also here, just in case it might be "delayed" by OEX censors.

• An excellent experience 7*
• The image started so fast that I thought there was a mistake
• Just ~400Kb instead of the usual 2.5 to 8 GB
• Everything is there that you may need
  • an editor? there is x ^%
    • as in times before Studio
  • do ^JOBSTAT
    • as in times before CSP and SMP
  • run all classic command-line utilities
• To me, a time travel back to when I started with InterSystems Products
• Thank you for this birthday gift on the exact date.

Time travel is possible!!

BIG CONGRATULATIONS!  
And many thanks to the excellent and engaged team that runs and manages all parts of the Community!

Clear ! That's what XPATH was meant for

Late suggestion:
if you interpret your <entry> as a piece separator in your XML string, you may apply this trick

;; asssuming your input is in xmltext
;; get the 4th entry
set entry4=$piece($piece(xmltest,"<entry>",4+1),"</entry>")
;;-------^---------------------------------^

A guess from the hip:

• import of *.CSP is followed by compiling it to *.CLS,  which is compiled to *.INT
• import of *.CLS doesn't necessarily trigger a compile  

* It's just great to see  this  excellent example
* still in maintenance and updated
* It's my personal favourite 
* working, refreshed and kept in shape over the years.

I wish I could see more of those packages in OEX

Muchas Gracias Salva ! 🤝

This reminds me of the ages-old service rule

1.  The customer is always right
2.  If it is not right, then #1. applies automatically

😁

I composed a small example as DV.MAC  with  36 conditions. and  -as expected- hit no limit.
 

DV ;
	for i=1:1:50 {
		set x=$r(40)
		set col=$SELECT(
 			x=1:"col_1",
			x=2:"col_2",
			x=3:"col_3",
			x=4:"col_4",
			x=5:"col_5",
			x=6:"col_6",
			x=7:"col_7",
			x=8:"col_8",
			x=9:"col_9",
			x=10:"col_10",
			x=11:"col_11",
			x=12:"col_12",
			x=13:"col_13",
			x=14:"col_14",
			x=15:"col_15",
			x=16:"col_16",
			x=17:"col_17",
			x=18:"col_18",
			x=19:"col_19",
			x=20:"col_20",
			x=21:"col_21",
			x=22:"col_22",
			x=23:"col_23",
			x=24:"col_24",
			x=25:"col_25",
			x=26:"col_26",
			x=27:"col_27",
			x=28:"col_28",
			x=29:"col_29",
			x=30:"col_30",
			x=31:"col_31",
			x=32:"col_32",
			x=33:"col_33",
			x=34:"col_34",
			x=35:"col_35",
			1:"more")
		write i,?4,x,?10,col,!
	}		
 

result:

. . . . 
23  32    col_32
24  39    more
25  39    more
26  31    col_31
27  10    col_10
28  36    more
29  24    col_24
30  21    col_21
31  2     col_2
. . . .

I met a similar issue.
A new IDEA might be to fix the interface for IDEAS   😉

While you are in  terminal  $IO="|TRM|:|10468" or similar

from Studio it is  "|TCP|1972|11096"   with  1972 as Superserver port

It's one of the differences

I fully support your proposal.
I published >700 reviews for the actual 1156 visible packages.
And there are several challenges to be addressed with any new structure.

• The reviews with stars focus on an actual individual snapshot.
• Similar to the code or example, they age and may become invalid.
• Ongoing maintenance by creators can't be expected
• So a clear separation between actual and maintained packages and those just kept for historical reference could be useful.
• The decision for maintenance must be left to the creator
  • Example:
  • If some essential function in IRIS is dropped without replacement
  • with no acceptable workaround, I'd move it to the archive
  • I just had to unpublish some packages for this reason 
• Another category could be packages where ISC takes responsibility.

This isn't a solution, but a step in between to improve the actual situation
I wonder how many of the 1156 packages might move to the archive without maintenance

There is no voting on the numbers added
