Please add your proposal and comment as an annotation to this paste. The web frontend paste.lisp.org allows you to choose a new title for any annotation. To annotate select the paste number which related to this paste or annotate to a paste on the #dylan channel directly. Sending only annotations to this paste and by not creating new pastes related to topic "CDAN proposals" avoids that related information is spread around. Try to feel comfortable with this information board, even if you do not feel during your first tries. I believe you will feel comfortable as soon as you are interested to find what is already published related to the topic "CDAN proposals". Then you either can go to http://paste.lisp.org/list/dylan and find the related entry via title or paste number Or you can use a paste to the #dylan channel to see what is already published. A specific CDAN related proposal will come as soon as annotation. 3410505379 #dylan 4 pet-ro First (unstable) ideas about CDAN (Comprehensive Dylan Archive Network) are now in the the Open Dylan Wiki: * http://wiki.opendylan.org/wiki/view.dsp?title=CDAN:%20Structure%20Proposal * http://wiki.opendylan.org/wiki/view.dsp?title=CDAN%20Prerequests 3415456537 #dylan 3 pet-ro Back in Nov 2004 Peter Housel wrote: "...I'm not interested in doing any library unification until we have a unified Foreign Function Interface on both systems, namely Collage.  Work on part of this, namely the C Program Representation (cpr) library, is in progress in the Monday project repository.  (It will be back-ported as an "illiterate" program for Open Dylan and Gwydion when it's done.)" Q: What's the last status about the C Program Representation (cpr) library? 3410633264 #dylan 2 pet-rp see http://www.opendylan.org/pipermail/gd-hackers/2004-November/005107.html its titled "Open Dylan migration plan" and contains some statements about CDAN. 3410596005 #dylan 1 pet-ro w3-related -- node w3-related/readme The "w3-related" node will be part of the CDAN (Comprehensive Dylan Archive Network) While it is a node of CDAN this does not require that the node is a repository. So we discuss here currently only the structure of the CDAN, not how the structure is mapped to repositories w3-related/xml -- node w3-related/xml/readme xml is a subnode of the "w3-related" node. Here we list all the activities of the Open Dylan Community which are related to the xml-activities of the w3 organisation (www.w3.org) w3-related/xml/native-parser -- node w3-related/xml/native-parser/readme native-parser is a subnode of the "w3-related/xml" node. Here we list all native dylan implementation of xml parsers. Currently all implementations are listed in the "w3-related/xml/native-parser" node are in the subnode "based-on-parser" w3-related/xml/native-parser/base-on-parser w3-related/xml/native-parser/base-on-parser/readme Each subnode of "w3-related/xml/native-parser/base-on-parser" entitles the parser library which is used by the xml-parser. w3-related/xml/native-parser/base-on-parser/meta -- node w3-related/xml/native-parser/base-on-parser/meta/readme This node is the source location for the xml-parser which is based on the Meta parser w3-related/xml/no-native-parser -- node w3-related/xml/no-native-parser/readme A no-native parser is based on a not natively in Dylan written parser. This could be a C-parser (e.g expat, or a COM-component (e.g. Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) ). How interfacing with foreign format (C, COM) is currently depends on the Dylan implementation. A general solution related to C is via a project by Peter Housel. w3-related/xml/no-native-parser/any -- node w3-related/xml/no-native-parser/any/readme No-native xml parser implementations which can be used with ANY dylan implemenation are listed here w3-related/xml/no-native-parser/gd-only w3-related/xml/no-native-parser/gd-only/readme No-native xml parser implementations which can be used onyl with the Gwydion Dylan (GD) implemenation are listed here. w3-related/xml/no-native-parser/od-only w3-related/xml/no-native-parser/od-only/readme No-native xml parser implementations which can be used onyl with the Open Dylan (OD) implemenation are listed here 3410505492 #dylan
