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

Subject: [toronto-lisp] Factor notes, and website discussion

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.org (name patterned after www.lispnyc.org)

Currently, it is hosted at Google Sites 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
