Re: [Bug-apl] Package manager proposal and design sketch

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi David and all,

thanks for the link below.

Attached is a quick summary of my thoughts regarding libraries.
Looks like David and myself are on the same page, just the focus is a 
bit different.
I wouldn't rule out ⎕CP for GNU APL in the long run, but I feel like not 
having fully
understood what the requirements are.

I vaguely remember that some APL vendors (Dyalog and MicroAPL ?) had 
similar discussions on the
web long ago, but I haven't seen the outcome. So we should not attempt 
too much in one go in order to
succeed. On the other hand it is important to have clear requirements so 
that we spend effort in the right
direction.

So please shoot and lets see how we can collect the responses in a 
single doc or web page.
