My 1.346 cents worth: I'm good with this Google Sites recommendation.

Hi all,
- The paper that I mentioned is called "Out of the tar pit" and is available here http://web.mac.com/ben_moseley/frp/paper-v1_01.pdf. The paper addresses the issue of software complexity and management of state is cited as the single largest contributor to complexity of software systems.
- If I'm in town next month (there's a possibility that I'll be away on a consulting engagement), I'll be glad to do a presentation on Clojure.
- I wholeheartedly agree on the need for the website and ready to provide the domain www.lisptoronto.orghttp://www.lisptoronto.org (name patterned after www.lispnyc.orghttp://www.lispnyc.org)
Currently, it is hosted at Google Siteshttp://www.google.com/sites/help/intl/en/overview.html for free. Google Sites seems to be a nice web-based app that can serve needs of the group well: it works as a wiki and allows addition of file attachments, widgets (Google calendars, photo albums, spreadsheets and some others).
Please let me know if hosting it there is ok with everyone interested. - If yes, then I'll add anyone who request to the list of site operators, effectively turning it into a wiki where anyone on the list can add/change stuff. - If not, we can host it anywhere else.
Cheers,
Telman

Hi everyone,
I've attached the notes from my Factor presentation last week, along with some of the code I demonstrated. I'm new at giving this kind of presentation, so it was a learning experience for me. I think that the live presentation I gave (actual coding, mistakes and all) worked a lot better than a PowerPoint-style one would have. I hope to give more presentations in the future.
This stuff really ought to go on a website. Let's set up a Toronto Lisp website for tutorials, code snippets, meeting minutes, project collaboration, and so on. I believe someone said they already had a domain name registered, which is great. How about we set up a Wiki at first, and see where it goes?
