1- The new configuration and file searching mechanism is causing some grief.
As a user, I'll just note that I browsed the manual, didn't understand much, and for now I'm just using: (asdf:enable-asdf-binary-locations-compatibility :centralize-lisp-binaries t :default-toplevel-directory (merge-pathnames (format nil ".cache/common-lisp/~A/" (hostname)) (user-homedir-pathname) nil) :include-per-user-information nil ;; :map-all-source-files ??? :source-to-target-mappings nil) and asdf:*central-registry* until I have time to learn how to do it in the new way. So I would say that indeed, the documentation could be improved.
2- Lack *-user mailing list and need of subscription for questions. Is there a sufficiently large comunity here and do we want to open the list?
With all due respect, opening a list is pretty much never a good idea. It's just asking for spam. Per my response to the above complainer, I think it would be great if there was a help web site that
1. Allowed OpenID login --- no need for new accounts
2. Served up questions to the interested through email digest and RSS. As a potential question-answerer, I don't have time to log in to such a web site. I would need to have the questions pushed at me.
Is there any such existing software that we could adopt?
I'm using gmane, and the overhead to subscribe is really minimal: just reply to a message gmane sends back the first time you post... -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/
