Good morning Ed and Clinton,
I have accounts on both sourceforge and github accounts. As yet I have
been doing all my development work on my local machine. Thus in both
system, I don't have anything as such usable. I can rectify this and
push the various projects out to these repositories for view and
obtaining. As yet my code is not really presentable but it may be a
start for someone else if they wish.
I am in the process of bringing the comments and headers up to IPL
standard. As I have noticed, I am replicating various parts of the IPL,
UniLib and Uni areas. Once I have completed the current project for
which I started for the purposes of doing modeling of some woodwork and
wind turbine designs I have, I want to look at doing some documentation
of the various libraries available to unicon developers (specifically
for myself). I will also make this available as I get it done. My
biggest problem is not having a searchable package, class, method and
procedure system so I can build upon what other have done before me.
In regard to building a community, I applaud the idea and am interested
in moving ahead with this. I have been using icon since the mid-80's as
a tool to do small functions within the various database, data analysis
etc projects I have been involved in. I have found that getting others
to use icon/unicon tends to be an uphill battle as they are quite often
are not interested in using "old" languages. It's not the "in" thing.
regards
Bruce Rennie

Hi Ed,
There are many different ways to share Unicon source code. The least
formal is what Bruce has kindly done, which was offer to share it
(possibly by e-mail attachment) with anyone who asks. The most formal
is: send it in as a contribution to Unicon project, for inclusion in
the Unicon public distribution. There are many intermediate
alternatives, including setting up a website where folks can download
files, like Robert and Steve have done at times in the past. While I
don't anticipate moving the unicon-group mailing list off of source
forge any time soon, I endorse the idea of us adopting a group file
sharing service where folks can post stuff. I would in fact like to
go beyond file sharing to improve our community's sense of
connectedness, but perhaps that should be the subject for another day.
Cheers,
Clint

Clint,
I don't think that the Unicon group has file storage for the kind
of thing Bruce is
offering to share with us. If we used yahoogroups (googlegroups?)
file storage
would be provided and any authorized personnel could deposit them
there.
I do this for notsnobol and snobol. So far no problems. Would this
be helpful in centralizing Unicon external resources? A person
could avoid signing up for a Yahoo account if they were willing to
forgo access to the file storage but just wanted to get the e-mail.
Regards,
Ed Feustel
