One site that I often like to visit is Rosetta Code.
It allows you to see tasks solved in different programming languages.

I wonder if there may be some low hanging fruit in terms of Medley's strengths?

Some of the iteration and graphics tasks may be feasible especially.

I'm still tinkering with my Boids stuff (taking time to explore a few things) but some of these may be a coffee break task.

The win for Medley is that Interlisp would be solidified in the public eye with a few findable examples alongside the other searchable languages there.

Just a thought ...

I was thinking about creating a category page for Interlisp and finishing the example for showing a simple window.
I think Interlisp blows the pants off some of the examples there with (CREATEW).
I'd provide a few forms too but that single sexp is much less boilerplate than usual and plays to the strengths of the system.

Would I call it Interlisp-D, Medley Interlisp, or the more umbrella term "Interlisp"?

That's a great idea. I'd just call the category "Interlisp".

I've got the first example in.
Oddly enough the Category page I created isn't showing up.
I read sometimes it takes a while or a user doesn't have permissions.

Here is the window stuff in the mean time.
