Hi all,
I'm thinking to point the project page to the source repository (e.g.
GitLab) when the project has sources, but doesn't have a project page.
That is a really good idea.
Ok, I know which projects don't have their project page replaced. I can publish that list here tomorrow.
Of all the projects which don't have a front page (list at the end of this mail), these don't have a git repository in GitLab:
arxana asdf-install asdf-packaging boston-lisp chemboy cl-amqp cl-buchberger cl-cactus-kev cl-captcha cl-clickatell cl-gdbm cl-gtk2 clint cl-lazy-list cl-lexer cl-match cl-ode clotnet cl-peg cl-player cl-rundown cltl3 cl-yacc-ebnf common-math decl defmud docutrack fset graphic-forms innen israel-lisp jess-parse lisp-interface-library mit-cadr mk-defsystem movies objective-cl phorplay same sqlisp tioga trivial-features trivial-shell ucs-sort umpa-lumpa xml-psychiatrist
Of these, these 4 seem to have a subversion repository though:
common-math fset graphic-forms mit-cadr
So I propose to remove from the site common-lisp.net, the following 42 projects (after contacting their respective project members):
arxana asdf-install asdf-packaging boston-lisp chemboy cl-amqp cl-buchberger cl-cactus-kev cl-captcha cl-clickatell cl-gdbm cl-gtk2 clint cl-lazy-list cl-lexer cl-match cl-ode clotnet cl-peg cl-player cl-rundown cltl3 cl-yacc-ebnf decl defmud docutrack innen israel-lisp jess-parse lisp-interface-library mk-defsystem movies objective-cl phorplay same sqlisp tioga trivial-features trivial-shell ucs-sort umpa-lumpa xml-psychiatrist
The remaining 69 projects will have their project page redirected to the GitLab group page (or in case there's only a Subversion repository, to Trac).
As for the projects which never spawned code, I'm wondering: should we
simply remove those off the system (after contacting the project
members,
of course)? I mean, there's little Common Lisp value in them...
Definitely. They make the projects hub list frustrating to browse.
Ok. I hope that the above proposal addresses that.
Regards,
