[clo-devel] future of common-lisp.net
by Mario S. Mommer 19 Oct '05

Hello, There is a larguish problem with common-lisp.net. That problem simply is that its main admin and otherwise responsible guy (that is, me), has simply had more than enough of it. I just do not want to do this any longer. I enjoyed it for a long time but that time has been over for a while. I don't think that things are going well with common-lisp.net as they are. The projects page is abandoned. We are still running debian woody. This sort of thing happens because I do not have the time, the expertise, or simply the energy to do better, and because there is no real infrastructure for sharing responsibilities. A project like this should have one, but I don't have the energy nor the time of building one. Thus, I have decided to stop accepting new projects and begin to think about a way out of this. Perhaps someone else might want to take over, which means taking over completely, including organizing the hosting. I will assist with whatever help is needed for the transition, which, BTW, is fairly simple. If you run a modern 2.6 kernel with masquerading capabilities, common-lisp.net is just a single (resource-heavy) application. But whoever takes over - be warned. Sooner or later you will have to solve the infrastructure problem I mentioned above. (And obviously, there is some selectivity about who might take over.) If nobody feels like taking over, I will shut down common-lisp.net at the end December 2005. I'm sorry. Regards, Mario.
