Cheers, - Alex I think this GSoC is a very fine initiative. My suggestion for a project would be getting 64-bit PicoLisp running on Mac OS X. ;-) /Jon -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
Re: Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2012
Hi Alex, Android porting may be a good candidate. It depends on how it would be scoped. Unfortunately I don't have much time to put towards leading it or being a mentor. However, off the top of my head this is what I think is needed: 1. Add Makefile changes and source code changes (e.g. making it so ht:Pack can be called - however its needed) to the main source repository 2. Create some utility that packages up a picoLisp web app into a java APK 3. Create an example app that demonstrates the full stack (db, web) and power of picoLisp. Maybe also demonstrate a java bridge and bindings (either by using call or something more native) so we can interact with the device (e.g. capture QR code) 4. Create documentation I'd be glad to be a contributor/reviewer though. Thanks, Joe On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 5:26 AM, Alexander Burger a...@software-lab.de wrote: Hi Joe, Doug, and anyone interested!

Re: Bug in the wiki?
Hi all, idForm -- Undefined ? While this was not really a bug in the Wiki, there _was_ another bug. José Romero triggered it unintentionally yesterday, and I could easily reproduce it. It crashed the Wiki when you tried to delete a Document (via the Delete button), because of a bug in the recently-introduced text indexing. I fixed it, and uploaded a new wiki.tgz. @Mansur: In case you downloaded your wiki.tgz earlier than 13:02 UTC today, please fetch it once more.

Cheers, - Alex For these kinds of cases where it's not really that necessary to upgrade picolisp for adding some minimal function I suggest a little idiom, a standard file, much like er.l, gui.l or lib.l called shim.l that just has the copypasted functions that were added, or monkey patches to others that were changed since the last stable version you want to support (wrapped on conditional code on the value returned by (version T), optionally quitting if the version is too ancient to work at all), load it from main.l after the @lib/ modules. A simple version check quit is acceptable too. Something like (unless (= (version T) (3 0 9 3)) (quit Picolisp version 3.0.9.3 or higher is required)) It should make installation of apps on places with global picolisps more convenient.

Re: Bug in the wiki?
Hi Alex! Thanks, all right with idForm. Now I see another strange behaviour. My steps (CentOS 6.2 x64): yum update yum install gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel.i686 openssl-devel file cd /opt wget http://software-lab.de/picoLisp.tgz; tar xzf picoLisp.tgz wget http://software-lab.de/wiki.tgz; tar -C picoLisp -xzf wiki.tgz wget http://software-lab.de/socialshareprivacy.tgz; \ tar -C picoLisp -xzf socialshareprivacy.tgz mkdir -p /usr/share/javascript/jquery wget -O \ /usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.js \ https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/ cd /opt/picoLisp/src make picolisp tools gate cd /opt/picoLisp/src64 make picolisp cd /opt/picoLisp ./pil wiki/main.l -main -go + Then I load http://wiki.mysite:5000 in Firefox, log in (admin:admin), navigate to Articles Essays in the left menu. I see New document 'Articles', This document doesn't exist yet. Seems ok. I press Create document, fill the body and summary, save the document and now I see that created page and Edit link on the top of it. Ok. But when I try to navigate to Articles Essays, I see This document doesn't exist yet again. The same happens with other links in the left menu. What I'm doing wrong?

Hi Jakob, I would also like to see a port to VHDL or Verilog. A proof of concept PicoLisp web server running its own bytecode machine on an FPGA. I think I could dig up those kinds of students, I know an FPGA professor. This sounds good. Can you add this to the ideas page on the Wiki? http://picolisp.com/5000/!wiki?ideasPage Cheers, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
