Date: Wed, 28 Jun 95 20:41:34 +0000 (GMT) From: fm@fm.rhein-main.de (Frieder Monninger) Subject: agenda - donations To: NICE-ESG-Libs@atlanta.twr.com Donations: I suggest that Nice should accept donations - small, usefull libraries which are not important enough to be topic of a discussion. To start whis this we will supply two libraries for time/date/timespan and for format. All libraries should be available under all 3 compilers and should follow the GNU license. Maybe we could find someone for the duty of a "donation secretary" ? Whats your opinion? Agenda: I suggest to put the following things on the agenda: 1. STREAMS/FILE - discussion of a systematic and open approach - I will supply a paper next week 2. low level interface - to "external something" and all to_something features in different classes - all interfaces (ISE, Tower and SIG) are not optimal. 3. features out in GENERAL and all related topics - like the append_something in STRING, print, and so on. - I will submit a proposal next week I will not participate in the ^ discussion - reading the recent discussions I found that there seems to be some consensus now. As a computer scientist I see no sense to know such things better than people as Michael. We really should trust these guys. In fact even Michael follows my advice (sometimes ;-) if compiler writing is involved. I am in holiday between 6th and 14th July. -- Frieder Monninger fm@fm.rhein-main.de 35619 Braunfels-Altenkirchen ++ 49 6472 1449 Germany www.rhein-main.de/people/frieder/frieder.htm
