The big problem with Google groups is that it requires proprietary JavaScript in order to read the archive. I wish the Scheme standards community would care more about free software, but in my experience they just don't understand.
- coldtea 10y agoWho said Scheme is all about free software? Or I missed the /s mark?
- johncowan 10y agoIn practice, proprietary Schemes have not survived unless they have become free software.
- johncowan 10y agoWe understand fine. The standard is freely available and reusable, the implementations are free software (now that Chez has become so), the process is as open as can be. If you'd rather maintain your own archive of posts, please do, and let us know where it is. As things stand, the posts that weren't on Google Groups lists have been lost because the person who volunteered to maintain them (I had no influence over that decision) didn't keep backups.
