One of the consequences of the transfer of maintainership is that the abcl/J website needs to be updated - if it were only to refer to latest releases. Peter can't give access to armedbear.org for it, so, I put in a bid for ABCL.org at Afternic. Unfortunately, this didn't come out fruitfully: no interest was expressed by the current owner (the domain is valued at ca USD2300 and I wasn't going to pay more than 200 out of my pocket). And since I don't know anybody in Chile, armedbear.cl or abcl.cl are out of the question. In the mean time, I did register a project at common-lisp.net. I intend to move the Lisp-In-Java part of the project there (retaining history ofcourse, including J history). Especially over my dial-up connection I experienced a lot of what SF is known for: performance problems. I hope common-lisp.net will be better. (And frankely, I can't imagine them not to be.) If anybody wants to put out a bid for abcl.org, that would be great! For now, I think the best course of action will be to have Peter point the ABCL site to the webspace at c-l.net. Comments? Erik. |

I'd chip in 200 USD as well, but I don't expect us to get to 2300 USD any time soon. > > And since I don't know anybody in Chile, armedbear.cl or abcl.cl are > out of the question. Hmmm. I really *like* this idea (esp. something like ab.cl: very snappy and 21st century). I'll hunt down some social networks to see if I have any contacts (in the late 90's I worked for a largish Latin/South American Internet company). > In the mean time, I did register a project at common-lisp.net.

The move to common-lisp.net is fine. I have no real experience with performance on common-lisp.net, but SLIME CVS always seems reasonable. Thoughts about migrating mailing lists (at least a developer group for right now)? Thanks for taking responsiblity here, Erik. Looking forward to contributing!
