Hi,
Right now there are 78 subscribers to this list.
The main reason why we created this list is that many subscribers to
the Benelux, Cologne and Hamburg mailing lists subscribe to all three
lists and started to crosspost more and more often. In Amsterdam and
in Cologne we talked about creating a mailing list for all Lispers in
Europe, but nothing came out of it for a couple of months. Until we
received another volley of triply (if that's not English, I'm sure
it's pan-European ;-) crossposted messages last week, and Pascal
Costanza suggested that we finally do something about it. Mario
Mommer volunteered to create the mailing list on common-lisp.net, and
Tayssir John Gabbour and I volunteered to be the list admins.
So here we are.
My personal idea about this list is that it could be a useful channel
for:
- announcing and discussing Lisp user group meetings that are taking
place everywhere in Europe
- announcing and discussing Lisp-related jobs, courses and anything
else that may require face-to-face contact with Lispers 'in the
neighbourhood' (as in "not more than a couple of hours by car, train
or plane")
- talking about Lisp with people you may have actually met in real
life instead of just a bunch of strangers from all over the world.
But these are just my own ideas. I'd be interested in hearing yours as
well.

P.S. About using languages other than English: we've been discussing
this briefly on the Cologne mailing list, and even on that list
we already had diverging opinions. Personally, I love all kinds
of language and all kinds of languages and I think it's fine if
people use French, Finnish or even Dutch on this list. But I expect
that not everybody will agree and we'll probably never reach a
consensus on this. I suggest that we just wait and see what happens
before making a problem out of this.
Hi.
I'd like to start by thanking you all for the overwhelming support I've
got after I announced the launch of Erlisp and its website [1]. The
number of non-spam e-mails I got since last Wednessday is greater than
what I usually get in a month. :) All were very supportive, and most
pointed me to yet more reading material.
In response to this I've added an acknowledgments page to the website
and have completely revised the references page. After a post by Luke
Gorrie on the BeNeLux/Cologne/Hamburg mailing lists, I've also added a
terminology page. I'm not entirely happy with that yet though, and
would appreciate any and all comments.

By the way, can any one here read katakana, hiragana and kanji? I found
[2] through Google, but Babelfish isn't making much sense:

Via: Http: //home.comcast.net/ - Bc19191/blog/041013.html
Even concurrent CL. Unreasonable it does.
The kind of inert gas which by the way is the erlang port ? ? BROKEN
of OpenBSD.
Just a little we would like to try touching, but it is. Erlang.
Apparently, the Erlang package for OpenBSD is broken, but I have no
idea what is being said about Erlisp, nor what this has to do with
helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon or radon. ;))
Kind regards,
Dirk Gerrits
