<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> Hacker News (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://news.ycombinator.com/">http://news.ycombinator.com/</a>) is a Digg-style news site maintained by Y Combinator, a venture capital firm cofounded by Lisp veteran Paul Graham (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.paulgraham.com/">http://www.paulgraham.com/</a>). An item appeared today linking to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP">http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP</a>, and a commenter noted: <blockquote>I am speechless. Not because of LISP, but because this history preservation effort really deserves all support we can give them. Unfortunately the mailing list and volunteer forms are 404'ed. The contact form works just fine. </blockquote> I checked, and fixed a link that was broken when we transitioned from SCC to SPG and community.computerhistory.org to softwarepreservation.org. However the various forms don't seem to work for me. So I posted another comment on Hacker News: <blockquote>I'm the editor of the History of Lisp web site at the Computer History Museum. I'm sorry about the 404s, but if you email me, I will be happy to answer questions, and help you get involved. Paul McJones (paul at mcjones dot org) </blockquote> Of course, my email address is at the top of the History of Lisp web page, but people seem shy about contacting the editor! The reason I'm sending this to the entire SCC_active list is to assure folks there is activity in SPG land: I continue to update the Fortran and Lisp sites, and to get inquiries regarding both; I have no idea how much traffic these web pages are getting (I tried to activate them for Google Analytics, but can't seem to do it without Plone magic). Mike Powell, if you get this message, perhaps we could discuss how to improve the "Contact Us" page. Paul   <blockquote> </blockquote> </body> </html>
