Hello, Gilbert would like to point out that his name is written with an L: Gilbert Baumann <gilbert@bauhh.de> I've asked him to update his homepage. ;) From Berlin, Max On Sun, Feb 01, 2026 at 10:23:30PM +0000, Daniel Kochmański wrote:
Dear All,
I've recently started working a bit on improving McCLIM manual and wrote initial versions of two sections:
Development history old: https://mcclim.common-lisp.dev/static/documents/d35e5b1-mcclim-doc-current.h... new: https://mcclim.common-lisp.dev/static/documents/3d6249-mcclim-doc-sketch.htm...
Time between 2002 and 2016 is based on git history and very helpful comments from Christophe Rhodes and Gilbert Baumann. It is a draft and I'm writing here to ask old timers to comment on adequacy from the historical perspective (if anyone can recall) and whether people are correctly attributed. I did my best to balance contribution importance based on little info I had.
I've also rebalanced a bit years 2000-2002 to focus less on Gsharp (but still preserve all attributions) and more on the codebase merge and presentation system development.
As much as I'd like to, it is hard to be objective about recent years 2016-2026 given my constant involvement, so if you have a different perspective then please offer corrections.
Please write on the mailing list what do you think of it and suggest further improvements if there are any.
Getting Started old: https://mcclim.common-lisp.dev/static/documents/d35e5b1-mcclim-doc-current.h... new: https://mcclim.common-lisp.dev/static/documents/3d6249-mcclim-doc-sketch.htm...
I've also written an new Getting Started section. Instead of a few disconnected toy applications I've tried to describe one that covers clim-specific basics - frames, presentation types, commands and translators. Gathering feedback on this is also important to me.
Thank you, Daniel
