Hi LSUG,

A few people asked about this presentation on the Lift web framework
by one of the guys at Foursquare, here it is:

Out of interest, how much Lift interest is there in LSUG? Wondering if
its worth doing a session on it sometime...

Cheers, Tim

Hi Tim

We already have Richard (Dallaway) doing an 'intro to lift' next
month, however it would be great if you wanted to sort of continue
along that theme, and moving from 'intro to ...' to something more
detailed would be great over time. I think there is a lot of interest
and one of the original ideas for the group was to write the groups
web site in lift as a learning exercise (however we haven't got very
far with that yet)

There is a provisional calender in google wave (just do a search
'with:public LSUG'), but we juggle things if you want to do something
on a given day etc.
If your interested then let me know and I'll sort stuff out

Oh right, im not familiar with Richard from the Lift community -
perhaps he is lurking :-) Either way, I am interested to see what he
says about our little project!

Is there a reason that the LSUG site development has stalled? Is it a
problem (or lack of knowledge) with Lift? If so, I could offer to
mentor someone from the community in making it happen with Lift -
unfortunately I am massively over-committed on another project right
now so I can work on it directly.

Cheers, Tim

Hi Timothy,
For several reasons as far as know.
One of these is - we were waiting for for Lift to be compatible with
Scala 2.8.
The other one is hosting on GAE.

BTW I started looking into our web-site code.
There are some things in which I might need help.
Your help will be really apreciated.
Thanks,.
Rustem

We already support GAE - ok, you dont get comet or other multi-
threading operations, but you still get some great stuff. If you
really want stuff GAE doesnt support, checkout stax.net... those guys
are mega lift friendly and currently you can get hosted there for
nothing.

We are currently working on a 280 port of Lift, but we are doing our
best to make sure that client APIs are little affected as possible so
it certainly shouldn't stop you getting stuck in now. 2.8 is mostly
affecting lift internal and the way our processing and render pipeline
is working, but none of that is external to implementors.

Sure - i'd happily give advice where needed. Unfortunately im based in
Bath, so being part of LSUG is somewhat a misnomer, but i'll happily
help remotely (i know its not as good as hacking over beer!) :-)

Cheers, Tim
