The target is to create a flashing newlisp application/function/program

or whatever that boosts you out of here!



Let your fantasy take over and show what you can.

The deadline is 31th of December 2005.



The Best application can be chosen independently

by the newlisp users with a vote !

Any suggestion or addons to the project please drop a note...

Aaaa great Lutz ! ;-) How about Bumper-Stickers? ;-)

[eddier]

I'll join but I doubt any project of mine will be flashy since I won't have but about two weeks in the summer to work on something and as you say, there are some smart programmers here using newLISP.



Eddie

Lutz

is there a newlisp logo?



I made one for the newlisp page I may eventually write.  I'm not claiming it's any good, but if you want to look, it's here:

[Lutz]

its a great idea to put the name in parenthesis: (newLISP)



Lutz

[eddier]

newdep and pjot:



It will be great to see what you guys come up with. I was thinking about combining some existing things I have created for work and repackaging them. Is this ok or do I need to come up with something from scratch?



Eddie

[newdep]

hello Eddier,



Well actualy everything is allowed..

As long as there is newlisp code involved.. :-)



...Its a total unlimited Contest...



Regards, Norman.

[HPW]

>As long as there is newlisp code involved.. :-)



Must the involved code be open source?

[newdep]

Hello HPW,



It may be commercial code as well, but for the people to

judge the application (for the final voting) it would be a nice option

to test the application/code for free.



I will adjust the initial contest posting ;-)



Thanks, regards, Norman.

I assume that is a "Signed by guru.." manual ;-)

I suppose anything written for kozoru is out of the question :)
