Hi, may i request an account for the eggs-repository in order to provide the following extension?
DICT: dict is a wrapper around libdict [ftp://ftp.dict.org/pub/dict/libdict-0.9.tar.gz] and provides an api for the dict client/server-protocoll. It wrapps libdict at a very low level thus providing access to the internals of libdict. Additionally it provides a higher-level-api that exports a hand-full of procedures needed to connect to a dict-server and use it. I'm not sure whether it is a good idea to wrap the c-library. Maybe it is an option to turn the code into pure scheme in the long run. Any comments on that are very much appreciated. I'm currently in testing- and documentation-phase. If the egg is wanted i'll release an initial version as soon as this phase is finished. The egg is currently named "dict", any namesuggestions are very welcome. As a sidenote, this extension came into existence because i worked (and am working) on a wordnet-binding for chicken, and during a conversation about this extension, someone requested a possibility to interact with dict-servers. So there is a wordnet-binding in progress and i'm willing to eggify it if it is wanted. Furthermore i wanted to ask whether there is interest in a simple system to address constraint satisfaction problems? I've implemented a very simple system on top of the amb-library. At the very moment it provides both, a syntax-version for problems when you know the variables at compile-time and another version that allows to process variables only known at runtime. It is still in development and no actions have been taken to introduce methods to narrow the search-space such as providing interfaces to heuristics for e.g. node or arc-consistency. That may follow in the future, beside some other improvements. greets _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
