Over on http://www.forthwiki.com I set up a forum devoted to Factor.
This forum allows people to attach programs to their posts and/or to upload
programs into the gallery. The idea is that people can post Factor programs
here, to make them public. These would be programs that aren't general-purpose
enough to be included with the Factor compiler, but which the author still
wants to make public. This website would be an alternative to git-hub as a
place to post programs.
On this same forum I have my slide-rule program in the gallery. This program is
actually written in Forth rather than Factor. It is an example of the kind of
program that can be posted to this website though. Such a program, written in
Factor, wouldn't be appropriate for inclusion with the Factor compiler because
it is not general-purpose. On the other hand though, it is BSD-license and is
intended to be made available to the public.
The forum also allows people to start discussion threads. In some cases people
will want to discuss particular Factor programs in detail, and this would tend
to clutter up the Factor mailing-list as most of the readers wouldn't be
interested in that program. Such discussions can be diverted to forthwiki to
leave the Factor mailing-list clear for general-purpose discussions.
I hope that this forum turns out to be useful to the Factor community. I'm
certainly not competing against this mailing-list as a support center for
Factor --- my forum over there is intended to be an extension of what is going
on over here.
