Thanks for your help. I am sorry if I sounded presumptuous. I didn't mean to. I appreciate volunteerism and try to do a little of it when I can.</font></p></div></div></blockquote><div>If anyone should feel sorry it's me for making you feel guilty. Just thought the situation was quite comical.

I would be interested in helping with a UCW tutorial (especially if it will help me get UCW working!), either yours or Friedrich's or a new one. I believe I can write fairly well in English, even on technical subjects. Maybe I could even work a bit on release engineering, but I don't think I am Lisp-savvy enough for that part.
</font></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Sure, help out. Would be appreciated. I've seem to have run a bit out of steam on the tutorial. The thing is, i have the sources in a slightly hacked up gigamonkeys markup format, so:
<br><br>- i can put the thing up on the ucw trac wiki. I believe it accepts html, but i can't find an edit button somewhere (is it not public anymore?). might be handy for others to participate easily.<br></div>- i can send the sources of my markup software. That way the text would be easy to edit, but the text should be put in a darcs repository or something.
<br><br>I'd be for the first. Any ideas?<br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div><div><p><font size="2">
If I work on a tutorial for UCW, I would want to stick to a known ucw-boxset tarball, even if it gets way out of date -- and a very late version of SBCL (or whatever the UCW developers would like me to use on Linux) on top of a late
2.6.x version of the Linux kernel. Maybe the out-of-date ucw-boxset tarball could be stored on the tutorial page.</font></p></div></div></blockquote><div>Good idea.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div><div><p><font size="2">For the purposes of getting a full set of compatible software for the tutorial, I would just download standard binaries where possible and use compilation from source where it is not possible to use standard binaries. (I would not use the Debian packages, even though my computer runs on Debian).
</font></p></div></div></blockquote><div>But than you would have to support all the relevant cl implementation times versions, or? Doesn't seem practical to me.<br></div></div><br>Greets,<br>Ties<br>
