[admin] Request for addition of local-time library
by Daniel Lowe 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

Full name: Daniel Lowe <dlowe(a)bitmuse.com> Project name: local-time License: BSD GPG Public Key: attached Other members: Attila Lendvai <attila.lendvai(a)gmail.com> local-time is a development library for manipulating date and time information in a semi-standard manner. It is based almost entirely off of Erik Naggum's paper, The Long, Painful History of Time. It includes such features as: * Time and date arithmetic * ISO 8601 timestring formatted output and parsing * Reader macros to embed timestrings directly in code * Timezone handling (will read unix tzfile format) * Conversion between universal and unix time epochs * Julian date calculation It is currently hosted under a darcs repository. I'm primarily interested in hosting it under common-lisp.net for the mailing list and to show support for one of the "hubs" of the common lisp community. Thanks, : Daniel : -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) mQGiBEVsq88RBADHrVqwpx/vcnkrZRC1+ztC0RLvyhI4p5Kh6tzUa6p5ajvEkIxG obI6/tNrmOLgAT9ZKS7Nbaoio6VY1YClVQAmocfpDZ5ElemzvqC1vDVwC7nHej4M MZsy/iO9Qb6ux1YqH8UhGbilHnTUmrXrtlCKm9RgxDNmN4DtO66T+upWlwCg1LZO 910PVYzaUmN2JNfmJxBPvA8D/1Igx47aijSU7UK6PqvVKFATKj2Qdwelu8RazEk/ DEG+HlYTblNvHJ84lF+ZiTPWo+yIfyxlsGjilshMj40w9OCZJGOJHP+TzdF7NhPv RJRf6ZELOl2/rkBKIHAFraoY3VlS7Fc/jowTtVOHYqQ+CkOUkdF7+WvvEUCUG1Ou lrD/A/9Tjc3jNoMWomubVmn/qyBMYnsnHu2Q44Iv0yDGLnZUXPaQxdzZ4YHQ9TSo facspeEgKCfemiEp6gGSVObOmjRNu8f5jzstme/y8s/AyzLU1C1rlYQqtQzIIN69 Jwz0grmseJBN2VUt79rUO/rK+FZpTeqRbYqxh2I7bsLyH4EdxrQhRGFuaWVsIExv d2UgPGF6aW11dGhAYml0bXVzZS5jb20+iGAEExECACAFAkVsrC8CGwMGCwkIBwMC BBUCCAMEFgIDAQIeAQIXgAAKCRCZaXAP9SA9SDcmAKCszhw42Vk6RZs/DCG2opwc l23EGACgkeCgPR6/JR1Ico6t9uol4+wKncK0H0RhbmllbCBMb3dlIDxkbG93ZUBi aXRtdXNlLmNvbT6IYwQTEQIAIwIbAwYLCQgHAwIEFQIIAwQWAgMBAh4BAheABQJF bKw7AhkBAAoJEJlpcA/1ID1IjO0AniM42uuj7bdw/+hb2Bqamo62oIH0AJ97QNs8 oROIGCEU0Hsdhm2YLp2kX7kCDQRFbKvTEAgAptu77v+j5DRDbsqqKm5xHoZnivk6 DvV27xmXhUWd1jz9ws2X9D/5M0y5g6NaljHFCDZAhcZoB3UKia0yPVECZZJMPEA9 kiX/WOndMcsx8MfG37Gijrh569JOaASTsdCtL1HdbWxhvXr2b/NTroo0dbE2rAAH D4hYcDT/PEbuMKH1c657iOMgpaJYDC2c81+kf1Ch2xrBQ1Elic7xoMRADXkE/nxR TY77sCZWSpg3dMIPpHe9nUjukZj1jJAPq4BdEja+UA3K9a6KhKL3RtDp8BKpfguF rQPxkQmrOBc5UUYRhNpi4uGihUw03U0BwMZLfGChKdeCIQsXkvWJ6VaSqwADBQf/ diSgmgZsQ83WKF7i3+FwH5Mw6z+ReMWjErRlGJCRpFGK93QXmjUUyR1xidRxnNrJ Kqyw2Pb4YSmGtB/PFcaC4uayZN3+CM3+Am4iZnFwZo8w/K1UElVVKYL+HShMjT0b 19Cf3JUUoUfFrvUQUEpFQBQaJ6ULKRnbtgPmvpg8FvhHKtW/m4OS9qDSkq+O1Qji dkFf/eBJm13d963q+hXUR8c7G/LYousIDrN4ph+icaxOJRGE+XtXiURX0LP9DSX+ FyhVPs8j3t0NsJnRhSIViuwK1fPJ63sHy/4C27Uz9nKbUw9qto6qGZAe45CMo2Rz nebcDVphZMIODDY+jUhgb4hJBBgRAgAJBQJFbKvTAhsMAAoJEJlpcA/1ID1IU4sA oKPf3ei7hXxbI4p0mgRhFEOeBAQWAJ9ArZv0wtqUfFvS4FnqxvCTHiMtbg== =t6IV -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

[admin] Would like to set up a repository
by Marijn Haverbeke 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

Hello, To release a small library, I was looking for a good way to host it. Setting up my own hosting and repository looked like a lot of bother, so I write you asking if it would be possible to put it at common-lisp.net. It's a very small UTF-8 encoding and decoding library, predictably named trivial-utf-8, whose purpose is mostly to act as a more efficient alternative to the character encoding functions that unicode-aware implementations offer (its string-to-octets equivalent beats SBCL's version by a factor 10, mostly by being less general-purpose). This can be valuable in things like webservers and database interfaces that would like to communicate with others in utf-8 without becoming horrifyingly sluggish. I'm releasing it under a BSD license, and would prefer to put it in a darcs repository. Enclosed is my gpg public key. Regards, Marijn Haverbeke

[admin] Hosting a open-source project on Common-Lisp.net (GeoRep)
by Ron Ferguson 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Hi, I'm a university researcher at Georgia Tech <http://www-static.cc.gatech.edu/faculty/Ron.Ferguson/>. I have a diagram analysis system <http://www-static.cc.gatech.edu/faculty/Ron.Ferguson/papers/rferguson-kforb…> that I think would be very useful to the rest of the Lisp community, and I'm planning to release it as open source. I was wondering if you would do me the honor of hosting it on your site. Here is the key information that you requested in your FAQ: Name: Ronald W. Ferguson Description of project: GeoRep, a diagrammatic reasoning toolkit. Members of project: Ronald W. Ferguson, Neil Cutshaw, Jim Davies, Rudolph Mappus, Kent Czechowski License: We're working it out with the university, but it will be one of the common open-source licenses (feel free to recommend one) Public key: We don't have one, but can get one if needed Please let me know if there is any other information that you'd like to have. Again, we want to contribute to the rest of the community, so once the system is up we hope to create a community around this system so that it is broadly used. All the best (and thanks for providing this service -- you're doing a great thing!), -Ron Ferguson -- ========================================== Ron Ferguson (ronald.ferguson(a)cc.gatech.edu) College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology 801 Atlantic Drive Atlanta, Georgia 30332-0280 http://www.cc.gatech.edu/faculty/Ron.Ferguson Phone: (404) 385-2860 ==========================================

[admin] Request for new project space
by Vamsee Kanakala 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Hi, I am Vamsee Kanakala, a web developer from India. I have recently started learning CL, and I would like to contribute a project that I have been working on - porting Ruby on Rails' database migrations to CL. I have been using clsql, Hunchentoot (Dr. Edi Weitz's new webserver based on TBNL) and other tools for building a small side project, but I think CL is missing some vital tools that will make web development even easier. I want to name this project cl-migrations. What it does is provide a simple way to version-control your database changes. As a web project grows, it's database will go through numerous changes, but if things go wrong with a new version, there should be a proper way to disable new changes to database and bring it back to a previously known good position. cl-migrations creates a new file with a version number everytime a new database change to the database structure is to be made. It can revert, or forward to a given version number, or move the database to the latest version if no version number is given. I am attaching my GPG public key. This project is under MIT licence. Currently I am the only developer on this project. I would like to request for a darcs repository. Thanks much, Best regards, Vamsee.

Hi, I just read the FAQ. However it appears that shell.cl.net is running a normal web server on port 80 and nothing on port 443. I expected sshd on both, according to the FAQ. Regards, Jörg Höhle.

Troels Henriksen is the other project member. You have our GPG keys (; The 'consensus' is that the project should be managed with Darcs. Cheers, David Murray

[admin] cl-bio project request
by Cyrus Harmon 04 Nov '06

04 Nov '06

Hi folks, I've started a project for representing biological sequences called cl-bio. Perhaps one day this package will have a reasonable subset of the functionality in the BioPerl project (not the lispy naming analogy, I like to think cl-bio is a more appropriate name than the (taken) BioLisp name), but for the moment it allows for flexible and efficient representation of biological sequences such as DNA , RNA and protein sequences and for working with ranges on these sequences and identifiers to name the sequences. I think this would make a good project for common-lisp.net. Thanks, Cyrus
