Re: [ cl-cookbook-Bugs-536679 ] suggestions and an offer of help

Hi Edmund,

   I'd be glad to grant developer status to you if you have a Sourceforge
   account, so you can freely add to the CL Cookbook. (If you don't have
   an account yet - it's a matter of seconds:
   <http://sourceforge.net/account/register.php>). I'd also ask you to
   subscribe to the cl-cookbook-contrib mailing list in this case.

I have done both of these, and I guess developer status would make
sense.

   As for chapters that are still missing: I personally think that
   (logical) pathnames should be explained in detail (including good
   examples for different platforms - Linux, Unix, Windows, Mac,
   ...). Also, I didn't have the time yet to look at your examples but
   from your summary I'd be very much interested in reading more about
   threads[1] and file access in particular. And, one more thing, Frederic
   Brunel just proposed to add examples using UFFI
   <http://uffi.med-info.com/> and CLSQL <http://clsql.med-info.com/>
   (where I might add: as soon as it's integrated with UncommonSQL
   <http://ww.telent.net/cliki/UncommonSQL>). I might want to write
   something about these topics myself but I wouldn't be very angry if
   you were faster than me... :)

Let me have a crack at threads. I'll try for "somewhat implementation
independent" - I have LWW here and can download ACL and one or two of
the freebies. Enough to get the ball rolling.

I take it there's no great rush. I work as a contractor and so my
availability tends to fluctuate.

Regards,
