that wiki seems to be dead, and i couldn't create an account
either. (also, i personally miss the bird's eye view to edit that
page)

i'll move further maru related discussion to the maru-dev list:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/maru-dev

i've also enabled the wiki for the github project where i'll record
any useful/related info/plans/people i can find:

https://github.com/attila-lendvai/maru/wiki

i'd be happy to add contributors to the github project, so let me
know!

Thanks for setting up a Git bridge.  The VPRI wiki should probably be updated, 
since the following page lists a Git repository that has been unreachable for 
many months (git://fig.org/idst.git).

Hi Atila,

I just saw your "due to lack of interest" post about this thread. Don't be 
disenheartened. I'm quite interested in your effort. I don't have a heap of 
time to invest in this, but I wanted to get back to learning maru again and 
doing a similar thing at some stage, too. For me, the last time I tried, it was 
just too difficult because I didn't know enough LISP/scheme. Now I know a *lot* 
more, but I just need to get some chunks of time to work on learning it better 
(possibly).

So, suffice to say I'm very happy there are others working on the pedagogical 
aspects of maru. Thank you! Please don't think your efforts are in vain.

From,
Julian___

FYI, due to lack of feedback i've decided on my own to record my work
into a git snapshot of the maru repo at the same url i've advertised previously:

https://github.com/attila-lendvai/maru

but this conversion is created using hg-git, a plugin for mercurial
that enables it to be push into git remotes.

the git mirror i've originally advertised has been created with
hg-fast-export, a standalone script. unfortunately the two git repos
don't share the same root, and even though they are practically
identical, they are different git repos. i've renamed that repo on
github and will delete it eventually.

the new git repo has a branch called 'official' which is the 'default'
branch of the official hg repo. i can trivially update it by 'hg
pull', 'hg push git-url', so let me know if that would help you and
it's lagging behind the official.

Re: [fonc] maru hg-to-git mirror on github

i'm also playing with maru, currently with two main goals in mind:

 1 extend the level of my understanding of it

 2 use this process to shape the project to be easier to approach for
   newcomers. then publish results with the hopes of integrating it
   into the official repo eventually.

and hereby i invite interested hackers to hang around on #fonc on
the freenode IRC server and combine our efforts. (irc details at:
http://vpri.org/fonc_wiki/index.php/Mailing_list)

as of 2, it'd first involve organizing the files and the build process
in a way that makes it obvious what are the relatively independent
subsystems (e.g. the files needed for the C bootstrapping), which
files are generated, which files are generated+edited+committed into
the repo (if there are then set up the build to gen+patch instead),
etc. then work towards, and as soon as reasonable port the build
process to maru.

next on the list would be setting up more serious unit tests, also
clearly separated. separating the tests also into mundane/interesting
so that people can look at the interesting part to help understanding.

other interesting projects later on: porting maru to ARM and playing
with stuff like this is: http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/FST-01 (an
ARM computer as a tiny usb stick). ultimately to replace/port projects
like gnuk, a PGP smartcard (http://www.fsij.org/gnuk/).

i'll do my best to optimize for most value provided using the least
attention from Ian.
