There seems to have been a general lack of activity at both the web page and on the informal distribution list. I think the group is suffering from lack of a single person as owner. There have been a number of proposals about what to concentrate development effort on, and not enough movement has been made toward any one set of packages. I pulled together some statistics code with some other members and you can see it on my website. Independent of the SCL effort, I also put out a bunch of "utility" code which has some brandy-new financial functions added to it. Its not a standard (well, its *my* standard. :-) but it may provide some grist for the mill. (BTW: If you get there and look at any of my code & have some suggestions, I would appreciate the feedback.) I think the SCL needs to coalesce around some package specs for some general-purpose data structures. If the group gets agreement on that much, the rest should be gravy.

Of course, some people are currently otherwise preoccupied :-) But beside that, there are, IMHO, major communication problems, as people keep trying to use a web site as the primary communication verhicle, instead of using cheap & simple email. (remember, we in europe pay for internet access & telephone connection _by_the_second_, for me, participating in a web based development of a library is simply too expensive.) Note that there is no 'informal distribution list', just a long list of 'cc' addresses that might or might not include the interested parties. -- -- Jerry van Dijk | email: jdijk@acm.org -- Team Ada | web: http://stad.dsl.nl/~jvandyk -- Leiden, Holland | Paris, France ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I rather considered that the semi-official membership list. Maybe it would help if we set up an e-mail reflector of some sort. A listserver that we could subscribe/unsubscribe to might make communication easier. However, I don't know if that is the best way to expose proposed code in that it is difficult to tell if everyone is dealing off of the same chapter & verse. Would a web site for posting code be too painful? (I could probably volunteer some web space in which we would simply keep a page which had different versions of packages for review.)
