[edit]

pet-ro

[edit]

Discussing Library Restructuring in general

[edit]
Why
  • Carl Gay started a new branch in the repository to establish a restructuring of the Library.
  • Several of documentation links depend on a stable library structure.
  • A discussion helps to come up with a stable version from the beginning.
[edit]
Goals
[edit]

Discussing documentation and documentation tools

[edit]
Why

There are different feature, which are rarely documented

  • to document APIs
    • the DITA approach by Peter Housel
    • Writing Dylan documentation, using XSLT and NaturalDocs, as proposed by Dustin Voss. (see Dustin Voss's Dylan Stuff )
[edit]

Discussing extending the wiki to a literate coding browser

[edit]
Why
  • Hannes wrote on #dylan 2005/12/01:
    • what would be nice if our website/documentation/the dylan books would be editable via browser (javascript editor,...)... hmm, maybe a deuce-web frontend would be nice... to have the full compiler available via web-browser (with ajax and this cool web stuff which is now around)
  • The Eclipse community offers |articles for specific topics. What these articles represent is nothing else what Peter Housel represents in his Literate Coding example of the Monday Project. We can easily offer such kind of articles, if we start a culture of literate coding.
[edit]
Goals

There are several code snippets which are interesting to a broad community. And on the other side such important snippets are read by many community members. Extending the wiki to a literate coding browser means:

  • allow logged-in users to write literate coding section
  • make literate coding sections browsable to wiki-viewers as well as logged-in users
[edit]
Issues
  • Stated by Andy Armstrong:
    • My problem with literate programming for large scale projects is that the documentation team need to go in and edit the source code, which is a risky proposition particularly when the source code is frozen coming up to a release.
  • Does Monday's Source Location Library help to solve the issue?
[edit]

Tutorial related to use the Monday Project

[edit]
Why

The Monday project seems to become THE Dylan parsing framework.

[edit]
Goals

Get a glue

  • How to integrate the Monday project as parsing framework to the Dylan wiki
  • How to implement a Regular-tree expressions in Dylan via Monday
[edit]
Readings

I will skim over the Dylan literate sources

And try to read two Scheme-related papers by Olin Shivers.

But don't expect that I will have understand all that stuff. Otherwise I won't like to visit a tutorial.

[edit]

How to do internationalizations (i18n) in DUIM

[edit]
Why
  • It's unclear to me how DUIM is prepared for this
[edit]
Goals

Get a glue

[edit]

Struppi___ 

as stated on the #dylan channel
[edit]

Coding on porting DUIM of Open Dylan to support GTK2 on Linux

[edit]
Why

Struppi__ wrote: though i didn't exactly "start" it (most of it was already there). The good news is, i can already start the reversi example (fundev/sources/duim/examples/reversi/), and the board gets displayed, though i can't play it yet.

[edit]

Turbo24prg 

as stated on the #dylan channel
[edit]

dannym

  • dylan-gtk2 fixes: 
 * names without nagging prefixes
 * find cause of melange endless loop
 * slots for connecting signals ala dotnet ("button.clicked  = method"...)
  • started to do some work on charset converters
[edit]

Having a box which runs the original Apple Dylan would be cool

[edit]
Remarks
  • Heisenburg mentioned that he has a CD of AD TR
  • Andreas will look whether his PowerMac 7600 still boots
  • Chris Page mention that AD TR will run on OS 9.2.2 and recommends to use fastest machine that can still boot OS 9.
