[cl-cookbook-contrib] CL Cookbook - UFFI and CLSQL

[<ed...@ag...>]

Hi Frederic!

I've read your suggestions for the cookbook and I think they're right
on target[1] - actually I think about doing some of this myself as
soon as I find the time for it. However, as you're one of the earliest
contributors to the cookbook, I'd ask you to write parts of this
yourself if you like. I can grant developer status to your ('fbrunel')
Sourceforge account and you can add/change content whenever you
want. I'd also ask you to subsribe to the cl-cookbook-contrib mailing
list. What do you think?

Thanks in advance,
Edi.

[1] with one exception - I think we shouldn't support CLSQL until it
    is integrated with UncommonSQL because the latter is a much neater
    and 'lispier' high-level interface to SQL (but this seems just a
    matter of a few days or weeks from what I've read today)

OK, fine. Lack of time is a common problem of all of us, so I don't
think anybody will urge you to do it faster than you can afford... :)

Do you want me to give you developer access?

Yep, maybe that would be a good start. IIRC there are also some
examples in the UFFI distribution. Maybe you can use these and explain
what they're doing (after checking with Kevin Rosenberg if that's OK
for him).

I wanted to do DocBook instead of HTML when we switched from my server
to Sourceforge but at that time the majority of the contributors
didn't like the idea.

Best regards,
Edi.

OK, done. You now have full access to the Sourceforge project.

Good - looking forward to see something from you.

Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend,
Edi.

Hi Edi,

If you look at the most popular projects on SourceForge, you'll see that
this is common to have a mailing-list for cvs commits and for technical
discussion. Generally these lists are named <project-name>-devel and
<project-name>-cvs.

Anyway, I've forwarded this mail to the current mailing-list to get the
feedback from other contributors to the cookbook!

Given the sparsity of traffic on this mailing list, I can't imagine
this is worth looking at right now.

Ok, let's continue with the current mailing-list.
