Hi
I am leaving the Wed. 5th very early, so I am all for a Tuesday meeting.
I like the topics that Pascal B. mentioned, but I think I'd like to discuss a few things "meta" above all. E.g., I'd like to discuss how to have the implementors adopt a CDR and how to enthuse people to write CDRs.
all the best
Marco

so, is there any interest in making a CDR BoF at ECLM or ELS? I have a few ideas about a (short) list of topics for discussion.
<me too>
I won't be able to come, but here are a few CDR topics I'd like to work on if/when I had/will have the time:
customizable parser (parse-token hook in readtables); but there are some non trivial points.
a specification of the mapping of logical pathnames to POSIX paths.
a specification of the mapping of POSIX paths to physical pathnames.
a few portability libraries where basically most implementations provide most of the features, but possibly with gratuituously different API could attain the status of CDR, so as to promote more common implementations of those features (and possibly the elimination of the need of those portability library. RUN-PROGRAM, FFI, threads, sockets, etc).
Later I will open a cliki page to list the subjets worth of a CDR.
