Where did symbolicweb go?

[Robin Lee Powell]

I know it's not relevant to Weblocks, but they sort of strike me a
sister-projects and I don't know where else to ask, so:

I just pointed SymbolicWeb out to a friend, but the thing that WP
lists as the home page (the google group) is gone.

http://code.google.com/p/symbolicweb/ points to the same thing.

Anyone know what's up?

I've never seen a Google Group go away before. -_-

It's back up. It looks like the author is in the process of moving it.

http://code.google.com/p/symbolicweb/ is up, but that's not what I
was talking about; I was talking about the forum that points to,
which is http://groups.google.com/group/symbolicweb , and certainly
looks down to me.

Ah, sorry. I thought I was at the other page. According to Lars he
has scrapped the project.

:(

Would be nice if any of the pages related to it made that clear; I
don't even know how to email him.

Is there anything else in Lisp that does Comet stuff?

You can find his address at c.l.l. for example.

Why not build on SymbolicWeb?

I'd ask Lars for the reasons that made him give up, but in general it
seemed to work fine.

Wow, really? That'd be bad. Such an interesting project that has
overcome a lot of obstacles and got many hours of work.

Just when it started going a bit stable...
