I would be happy to host your LispKit work there. It would make sense to put it either in the “History of Lisp” section (<a href="http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/">http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/</a>) or perhaps as a new entry under Functional Programming (<a href="http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/FP">http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/FP</a>) given LispKit's direct relationship to Peter Landin’s ISWIM/SECD work in the 1960s.</div><div><br></div><div>It’s interesting that the Software Preservation Group (originally called the Software Collection Committee) was started a little over 10 years ago (late 2003), and its website was launched about 9 years ago (April 2005), but the Computer History Museum still has not publicized its plans for digital archives. There has been encouraging progress, however, with a series of @CHM posts featuring history software, with MS-DOS and Word for Windows as the most recent installments.</div><div><br></div><div>If you’d like to follow up, you can email me directly (<a href="mailto:paul@mcjones.org">paul@mcjones.org</a>) — no need to Cc: the mailing list.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Paul</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On May 10, 2014, at 5:35 PM, Aaron Gray <<a href="mailto:aaronngray@gmail.com">aaronngray@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>Some years ago with the help of the comp.lang.pascal UseNet group I ported the old LispKit source to GNU Pascal.
