Hello everybody!
I've been working on a new version of Common-Lisp.net website.
Let me explain: I had an idea for a Common Lisp website. I was not happy
with lisp-lang.org. So I started designing/developing. But then I came
across Common-Lisp.net, and thought I could build on top of that
instead. The result may be that my personal ideas and preferences may
not be good for Common-Lisp.net mission in particular, or the
maintainers taste. That's why I want your opinion on it.
I'll be glad if some of it gets to replace some of the Common-Lisp.net
site, but if not, I have not problem at all.
My version of the site is hosted here:
https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/mmontone/cl-site
I started developing on top of this branch:
https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/clo/cl-site/tree/more-scaffolding, that I
found better than other branches.
Can you guys try it and give me your opinion?
To install:
git clone https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/mmontone/cl-site
make
make serve
This is what I've done:
* Added Bootstrap themes from https://bootswatch.com/, which you can
choose from (current one is Simplex)
* Redesigned home page to include Planet Lisp and Reddit news in news
sidebar.
* Added Fontawesome icons
* Redesigned Download, Community, and Documentation pages.
* Added CL Implementations and Features pages.
* Imported lisp libraries page from cl-awesome github project, and
lisp-companies page from awesome-lisp-companies github project.
Ok. Looking forward to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!
Mariano
Hi all,
common-lisp.net has 429 OS-level non-system users. Of these users, 347
didn't log in since 2013 (inception of the current instance). Just for the
fun of it: cohorts since 2013:
1 2013
7 2014
18 2015
9 2016
10 2017
21 2018
Since these 347 users seem to get by without logging in (or have lost
interest), I'm planning to remove these users and their home directories
from the system as a system clean-up action.
The GitLab accounts associated with these users won't be affected. Neither
will project's public_html hosting associated with these users.
Before removal of these accounts, all users will be notified through their @
common-lisp.net accounts which is expected to forward to a valid mail
address. If a valid forward address isn't available, I'll be assuming we
lost contact and there's no other option than to assume lost interest,
followed by clean-up.
This mail is both to notify as well as to solicit feedback.
Any comments?
Regards,

Hi all,
Today I've worked on figuring out how to (ab)use GitLab CI and GitLab Pages
to set up the deployments for the content of
https://common-lisp.net/project/*
And I've found how to do that!
Which means that we can start using GitLab and GitLab CI / GitLab Pages to
allow people to deploy content to their hosting directories.
As a site maintainer, I'd love to make this change. However, the site is
here for its users. What do you think?
