I plan to create a CL Gardener's Projects page on lispniks.com as soon as we have a few more projects to keep track of. If anyone wants to take a crack at creating such a page they can email it to me and I'll put it up or muck with it and put it up or something. > - some means of communication : traditional mailing list + website at > lispnicks.com Thats lispniks.com No "c". > - a versioning system such as subversion (used for the faq, i believe) I intend to set up subversion on liskniks.com for CL Gardener projects that need it.

As you guys will discover, I try really hard to remember to live by the mantra "the simplest thing that can possibly work".[1] Which in this case means not deploying a bunch of tools to solve problems we don't have yet. (And conversely, deploying those tools as soon that's the simplest thing.) At the moment there's only one "task" that I'm aware of--Michael Forster volunteered to compile a list of Lisp links. Let's wait until we start loosing track of what we're all working on before we worry about deploying task tracking tools. -Peter [1] I say "try to remember to live by" because I'm as bad as the next software guy when it comes to wanting to dive right in and try and solve every problem with software. But I've also learned over and over again that giving in too quickly to that impulse is often a bad idea. So I try and remember that. -- Peter Seibel * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gigamonkeys Consulting * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/ Practical Common Lisp * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
