Re: [Factor-talk] Factor interface to Spotlight

2013-11-17 Thread CW Alston 
Hi all,

The Factor Spotlight interface is definitely getting somewhere. John B.
(mrjbq7) has
significantly streamlined the code, and whipped up a docs file to boot.
Take a look at
the revision on GitHub , and
give it a whirl. Looks like it may get merged.

Thanks & cheers!

 Hi,

 I'd like to merge this into the main repository, i see that it is
 copyright you, would you like to make it available to us with BSD license
 like the other factorcode?

 Thanks,
 John.

Re: [Factor-talk] docs.factorcode.org not doing a `load-all`?

2013-11-17 Thread John Benediktsson 
@erg recently upgraded the factorcode.org server, and it looks like this
needs to be fixed.

Also noticed that the sync script that keeps the git repository on
factorcode in sync with github does not appear to be running properly.

[Factor-talk] docs.factorcode.org not doing a `load-all`?

2013-11-17 Thread Alex Vondrak 
Just noticed that something I linked to a short time ago is now 404ing
because the doc index seems to have been built with an incomplete
image.  As of this writing,
http://docs.factorcode.org/content/vocab-formatting.html says "You
must first load this vocabulary to browse its documentation and words.
 USE: formatting"

Is it just this one vocab, or did something else change, like
docs.factorcode.org not doing a `load-all`?  Or maybe the server
started running with a different image recently?

I can open an issue, if need be.  Thought it might be a quick enough
fix to get an answer here.  If nothing else, consider this a PSA.
