Subject: a new TLP to "unify" programming langiages?
Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 17:24:53 +0200
Hi gang.

As I looked for a place where to put some documentation naturally falling in 
a "project domain" for Ada, I realized that we have TLPs for many individual 
(programming) languages. First I though to ping some people on irc, but, as I 
went down the page the noticed number became nontrivial, so I decided to 
throw an email here instead.

Basically the idea is that a TLP for an individual language is way too much - 
most of them do not have subprojects anyway. Therefore lets try to organize 
it a bit better? At least documentation-wise. We will have to see whether 
there will be any additional correllation further on (and indeed there might 
be, for example for the different gcc-backends), but even if not I think it 
is better to keep the main projects page more structured.

What I propose is to create a TLP page for "Gentoo Programming Resources" (or 
pick your name) and move all the individual languages into the subdirs of it. 
Any opinions? If I get any "yay's" or no "nays" I'll create a bug about it 
and then we can finalize the layout there..
(I just like to keep the trace of what is being done and the related 
discussions).

The principal list of individual TLPs (as they stand now) is below:
Common Lisp
eselect
java
perl
php
python
Ada  -- to be added

PS
This is the top level project listing page I am talking about:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/

PPS
We could add principal divisions there, like
  Languages
  Tools
  whatever_else
and organize it even more, but this is a matter of discussion and we do not 
need to do it right away. I think the creation of a common TLP and relocation 
would suffice for a start.
