Your opinion on my version of Common-Lisp.net website
by Mariano Montone 10 Oct '18

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

Cleaning up common-lisp.net user database (not GitLab)?
by Erik Huelsmann 06 Oct '18

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, -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.

Moving project site deployment to GitLab CI (from upload through SSH)?
by Erik Huelsmann 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

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? -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.
