Re: PicoLisp in Wikipedia
It’s best if others can come up with the ideas for improvement. For the most of the summer I will be concentrating on some JavaScript/TypeScript project of mine, when not enjoying outdoors activity.

Hi Alex, I can edit that page, if you tell me when and what to write. I see that the “Stable release 20.6” is now in the box on the right. /Jon > On 29 Jun 2020, at 10:29, Alexander Burger wrote: > > Hi all, > > today I released picoLisp-20.6. > > During those releases every half year, I also fix every time the "latest > release > version" and "latest release date" in the PicoLisp page in Wikipedia > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picolisp > > > However, since quite sime time, Wikipedia complains: > > A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with > its subject.

Hi Jon,
cool, thanks a lot!

Yes, indeed, so it is adjusted already:
| latest release version = 20.6
| latest release date = {{Start date and age|2020|6|20|df=yes}}
These are the two items I changed after every release, then clicked "This is a
minor edit" and gave "New release" as the edit summary.
Of course, you are free do change or add anything on that page :)

Re: Announcing another project: a Unicorn-inspired PicoLisp daemon
I agree with a lot of this, however I do somewhat oppose the creation of yet another new package manager (see IRC chat logs). Perhaps try to follow the same "rules" for repos: - readme, changelog, license, makefile, test.l, module.l That would be a good start to standardize information about PicoLisp projects, and would make it trivial to discover what's available, their versions, and dependencies through the 'module.l' (which summarizes the project and is accessible through a global constant APP_INFO). There has been some initial work on trying to manage everything through the module.l file, but I never got very far, again due to my strong opinion on (and against) package managers. Perhaps someone can write a script to pull all the info from the various module.l files and generate a quick HTML page? Maybe I'll do it? haha. In any case, it's just a list, so it's quite flexible and open to improvements (ex: adding a 'contributors' field, or 'install' instructions (I think i've done that somewhere in another project haha)).

The "batteries included" philosophy (Python a good example of this or CL's "alexandria" library), would help welcome new users getting started quickly, which seems more of a bigger factor for language adoption these days, and reduce duplication of effort. In addition, I think this would be more effective with PicoLisp since there is a BDFL, unlike CL which makes it difficult to come to a consensus. Not to derail the OP, but in the same vein of thought, another critical element is a "quicklisp" library, which would be a tremendous boon to the ecosystem. However, all of this becomes more of a factor as the community grows. This would be a good topic for the upcoming meeting :) On Thu, Jun 18, 2020 at 11:57 AM wrote: Hi aw Awesome, many thanks. I will definitely build upon this. Good if we can re-use and establish some standard picolisp libraries (beside/in addition to the ones in the distro).

Re: Redis-inspired key/value store in PicoLisp
hah! Well it's not too late to write it, or contribute to this project ;) In fact, for me this was more of a way to sharpen my UNIX skills. Thanks for the comment George.

PicoLisp in Wikipedia
Hi all, today I released picoLisp-20.6. During those releases every half year, I also fix every time the "latest release version" and "latest release date" in the PicoLisp page in Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picolisp However, since quite sime time, Wikipedia complains: A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Naturally, because I adjust these fields every half year, and I'm the only who touched this page since several years. So it is not good if *I* maintain this page (sigh). Is there anyone interested to do that? Thanks!! :) ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
