sml-implementers — Standard ML implementers

[Sml-implementers] SML sourceforge project

[Dave M. <db...@re...>]

After a long interlude, I've started working on the Standard ML
SourceForge project.  I've created an initial web page
(/home/groups/sml/htdocs/index.html) and created a "test" directory in
the CVS archive (cvs.SML.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sml/test).

I intend to import the SML/NJ test suites as test/smlnj in the
repository, and I hope other implementations will add their test
suites, after which we can work toward an integrated Standard ML 97
test suite.  I believe all project members have read and write access
to the CVS repository.  I am not sure about permissions for adding and
modifying the web pages.

If you want to be added to the project membership, you need to
register with sourceforge and send me your sourceforge login name.


There are a number of tasks to be addressed:

1. I'd like to have additional administrators (perhaps at least one
from each implementation group?).  The main power of a project
administrator seems to be managing (adding/deleting) users, and
administering the mailing lists.  To promote users to administrators
I have to send mail to the sourceforge administrators.  Any
volunteers?

2. I'd like to get the standardml.org domain name hosted by
sourceforge.  I haven't figured out how to do this yet.

3. I plan to expand on the web pages, with at least a list of links
to the web pages of all Standard ML implementations.  Eventually, I
hope to have a fairly comprehensive SML software catalog at this site.

4. We need to plan the contents of the CVS repository.  At the moment,
the only directory is the test directory, which should initially be
populated by a collection of implementation test suites.  Later, an
integrated, implementation independent test suite should emerge.
Other directories could hold "portable" software packages (libraries,
etc.) that have been certified to run on multiple (all?)
implementations.

5. We need to check and revise the mailing list subscribers.

By the way, the archiving of the sml-implementers list seems to be
working now (it was initially broken).

Below I've attached a file with the project and mailing list info.
