Hello all,
I would like to announce a new version of my implementation of list
comprehensions for Common Lisp.
Documentation and source code can be downloaded at
<http://www.csd.uu.se/~svenolof/Collect>.

I downloaded the first version and thought it was pretty cool. When I
tried to get this version, the source file (collect.lsp) was garbled. I
think you might have included a fasl file by mistake.
Also, you really ought to put your name (and contact information) in the
source code somewhere. Take credit for your work.

Sorry about that. The file should be OK now.

Good idea. I've added my name to the source.

Two other "formal" hints:
1) The code needs a license. Without that, technically, noone may do
anything with the code. Best would be you mark *every* source file
with your copyright notice
; (c) 2003 (your name, perhaps your email or some other contact info)
as well as the license terms (if they're short) or a reference to
an extra file containing the license terms.
For your choice of licensing terms, see for example
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/
and better use an existing license if there's one that fits your
aims than constructing yet another custom one.
If you want just attribution, I'd recommend a BSD or MIT style license.
If you want more restrictions, check the other alternatives, like
(L)GPL, Artistic, MPL.
2) It'd be nice if the download tarballs were versioned, i.e.
collect-1.23.tar.gz or collect-20030921.tar.gz
If someone wants to create some package (BSD port, Debian package,
etc.) of your package, s/he will like to assure that the version
is intact by checking an MD5 hash. Without versioned tarballs,
the packager and/or user will get MD5 mismatches. With versioned
tarballes, there'll be either a MD5 match or a file not found (if
you chose to remove the version from the server, however in that
case, mirrors may still have the right version with matching MD5).
Kind regards,
Hannah.

Great work! I have used comprehentions in python for some time so this new
approach in lisp was welcomed. The syntax still seems a bit confusing but I
guess I will get use to it.
