Re: Comment on proprietary advertising (Re: clisp max heap size on 64 bit machines)

[Daniel J. <dan...@gm...>]

As much as I dislike some of the services "here" at SourceForge (mailing
archives, "forking") I think it would be a bad idea to change anything
about the hosting situation now. There is thankfully a lot more of activity
on both mailing lists as well as lots of new commits. Changes to the
hosting situation will bring some broken links, confusion and unexpected
work. This distracts from useful work on and discussion about CLISP itself.
