Hi,

    The ICFP 2003 is coming ( http://icfpcontest.org/ ), going from
2003-06-28 to 2003-06-30. Are people here interested in losing a weekend for
it. I know I am ;)
    As usual we have no idea about this year's task, but I think a team of 3
to 6 developers should be enough. Also if we give it a shot and get
ourselves a nice place we could get some attention for D.

    Best regards,
    Daniel Yokomiso.

I don't feel quite up to the task of competitive D coding,
but I could give support by
   - providing a CVS server (if needed)
and
   - caring for test data
   - white box testing (if needed)
within a max of about 10 hours total over the weekend.

The CVS is under testing and might be available for other D projects too (if there is interest).

I am.  For CVS we could use either Helmut or OpenD.org; that could also be used for file storage if necessary.  I also see a need for both instant (irc) and structured (news) collaboration.

All devs should get synced to minimise potential jarring.  The issues I can see are:

- Sockets might be needed (this is implied by the rules).  The only high-level sockets module I know of is the one in my urllib.
- GUI tools might be needed.  Again, the only one I know of blah de blah blah.  I can release a new version that has a large increase in the amount of 3d math support and renders dedit nearly useable if that's desired.
- Autodoc should definitely be a top issue with collaborative programming on what will remain a small source throughout the contest. I use Doxygen in conjunction with a filter packaged in dig.

I don't see much that can be done beyond that; there's no common ground that I can detect year-to-year in the contests.  The nightmare scenario is that the contest comes around and requires a module that we have no support for.

I got the impression that the program is going to do some output in tty format, which should then be emailed verbatim to them.

That was not said, so this is my impression.

We should have a team where thera are maybe three really
fast programmers, and then another three who have a
more theoretical or analytical bacground. All should be
very creative people.

Also, the communication during those 24 or 36 hours
should be very fast, so in addition to mailing lists,
we should use IRC.

I'll be on our annual sailing/bridge playing cruise with the boys, but I sure as hell will keep my fingers crossed for our team!!

Some day in the future, when it'll be finished and running. Today it's conceptual only.

    I think this will be necessary, at least some kind of automated testing
creation. They may post additional details during the competition, so it
would be good to make unittests to cover the specs.

Then we should set a D irc channel somewhere. I don't think people here would be angry if we use this newsgroup. Walter, are you ok with this?

cvs update every thirty seconds ;)

I agree with both. Fortunately we have a dig expert available ;)

Hmmm, I don't agree about this. I think that we should agree in some coding convention and create unittests. These are faster to produce and reveal intent. Documentation is good for apis but, as we have only 72 hours, they can become cumbersome to manage.

That's a possibility, but as we can link with C that shouldn't be a huge problem.

I think they'll run some kind of network problem, reading data from their network and giving them back some results. But is just a guess.

Too bad :( As I read your message I thought you would be joining us. So far only two players in this game...

I can join you.
What is required from me?
