newLISP newS / Navigating the new forums
Last post by itistoday - May 20, 2023, 11:01:57 AM
Hi guys!

As most of you are aware, no one has heard from Lutz in a while, and the old forums were in a state of disarray (outdated software, no HTTPS, spam, etc.). So I offered to help, and Ryon graciously agreed to help with the transfer.

Welcome to the new forums! :D

No one knows what the future holds for Lutz' amazing programming language, but it's becoming clear that its future is in the hands of the community now. So if you'd like to step up and help improve newLISP, here you'll find a welcoming community to help.

Regarding the forum migration - the importer was good but not perfect. Some links are kinda broken. Your profile info might need updating. If there's anything you'd like to make sure got imported, please check the old forums and repost your work here if necessary.

Notes on how to convert links you come across:

Converting links

Let's say you're browsing and see a link that looks like this:

http://newlispfanclub.alh.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2488

Take the value after `t` and convert it like so:

=> https://newlispfanclub.com/index.php?topic=2488.0

Same here, just ignore the `f` parameter:

http://www.newlispfanclub.alh.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3961

=> https://newlispfanclub.com/index.php?topic=3961.0

Post links

Links to individual posts within a thread are a bit harder because phpBB excludes the topic ID from the URL:

http://www.newlispfanclub.alh.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=25186#p25186

But if you happen to know it, this is how they're mapped:

=> https://newlispfanclub.com/index.php?topic=5229.msg25186#msg25186

Need anything?

Any questions/comments/concerns? Let us know!

It is so sad for me even some people consider newlisp mature and done.


I agree! Maybe you and itistoday can partner up and take over this forum and hopefully the codebase as well. Maybe a github fork? Anyway, I sure hope that Lutz is alive and well and not a COVID victim or some such.



I'm not a proficient with newLisp, but still carry a soft spot for it.

this whole case is weird, i suppose no one replied to greg. no one knows what's with Lutz who really owns and runs newlisp.org domain and web site now because it was even down for a while, who runs this forum etc. :(



Please don't take me wrong I assume that Lutz is in state in which he is unable to exist in this community anymore whatever this state is. I would consider to take

code, rename language to elimininate lisp flamewars and trolls (name it eg. Lutz) buy appropriate domain to run website and forum and create some small github community around official repo. I'm not C programmer, but I'm ready to contribute with some money to help this happen.

To whomever runs this forum,



I agree with Greg (itistoday).  If you hand the reins over to him, it will be in good hands.



Hopefully you can contact Lutz and get an approval.  WDYT?



Best, Rick (rickyboy)

I tried to get in contact with Lutz, here, by email, by Facebook, and haven't heard back from him.



I don't know who hosts these forums, but they are clearly in a sorry shape.



I'd like to offer to help migrate these forums to better software, with better spam protection, and HTTPS.



Qualifications:



I have experience hosting forums: https://www.taoeffect.com/forum/">https://www.taoeffect.com/forum/



I have a long history of being a newLISP fan:



- https://www.taoeffect.com/blog/2010/01/how-newlisp-took-my-breath-and-syntax-away/">https://www.taoeffect.com/blog/2010/01/ ... ntax-away/">https://www.taoeffect.com/blog/2010/01/how-newlisp-took-my-breath-and-syntax-away/

- Co-created the Dragonfly newLISP Web Framework, which has a dedicated forum here: http://www.newlispfanclub.alh.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=17">http://www.newlispfanclub.alh.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=17



If whoever runs these forums could please reach out to me both here and via email, I'd appreciate it.

Dragonfly / Dragonfly updates: improved lo...
Last post by itistoday - February 05, 2023, 08:13:45 PM
Hi folks, I've released a new module for the Dragonfly framework to handle sending email using the wonderful `msmtp` command, allowing Dragonfly to send SMTPS emails, and it uses the exact same API as the existing smtpx.lsp API:



https://github.com/taoeffect/dragonfly-newlisp/blob/master/example-site/dragonfly-framework/plugins-inactive/msmtp.lsp">https://github.com/taoeffect/dragonfly- ... /msmtp.lsp">https://github.com/taoeffect/dragonfly-newlisp/blob/master/example-site/dragonfly-framework/plugins-inactive/msmtp.lsp



It also has improved logging for the `./newlispServer` command, which now `tail -F`'s the dragonfly.log file so you can see log output just from running that one command.



Note, these changes are in the `master` branch, not in a tagged version.



Enjoy!
