Greetings,

Since you guys seem to be at an impasse, how about this:

1) Set up a page here at JALLIB that references every JAL project,
library, etc, that we know of-- just a link and a brief description.

2) I don't think we should forbid someone who may want to take on the
role of 'librarian' or 'editor' to bring existing JAL libraries into
compliance with JALLIB conventions. It can be a great way to learn
about a subject they are interested in, and also learn the finer
points of working within the JALLIB repository itself. I don't view it
as 'dirty work' at all.  I view it as apprenticeship.  It is wonderful
to have a program that works, and refine it to conform, but not break
its function.

3) So, we could have a list of 'interesting' JAL libraries in need of
a helper / coder/ maintainer.

Personally, while I like JAL, the fact is, it has a rather small
following.  In my opinion is a real shame that we can let ourselves be
divided over coding conventions.

Seb- How's it coming with Antlr?  Maybe we could do a JAL to JALLIB
translator?

ps:  How do I teach the Vim editor that JAL=3 spaces, and Python=4
spaces? :-)

Try this in your .vimrc

 These are are for JAL
augroup jal
    au!
    au FileType jal syntax on
    au FileType jal set tabstop=3  smartindent tw=72
"    autocmd FileType jal set comments=sr:/*,mb:*,ex:*/
augroup END


" And these are are for python
augroup python
    au!
    au FileType python syntax on
    au FileType set tabstop=4 expandtab tw=72
"    autocmd FileType python set comments=sr:/*,mb:*,ex:*/
augroup END
