[Chicken-users] wiki spam merging issue

2008-02-15 Thread Jim Ursetto
Hi, It appears that authorized, legitimate wiki edits to random pages are causing simultaneous commits to the 'index' page, which consists of spam in the form of an SVN merge conflict. Check `svn log index` and notice that quite a few recent commits follow this pattern. For example, svn diff -r8

Well, thanks for the thoughtful response, your suggestions are very sensible. I also think it would be nice to have a Chicken-specific introduction to functional programming, and I would support any effort in the Chicken community to put together such a document. If anybody is interested, I woul

So create another shared library which uses the Chicken shared library which then provides the clean API and hides other functionality away from the C app! You are right that does seem more straight forward then trying to separate and use inter-process communication. Oh well, I need to find another
