R7RSHomePage updates #2

Closed lassik closed 3 years ago

lassik commented 4 years ago

@johnwcowan, can you check that the URLs on R7RSHomePage.md are up to date? Some of them still point to BitBucket.

That document should probably also link to the repo's top-level https://github.com/johnwcowan/r7rs-work URL for people who want to browse the pre-SRFIs.

Linking to the nice PDF someone made of the Red Edition a few months back would also be great.

We should really establish that files.scheme.org so we can get easier permanent URLs for our PDFs.

Bitbucket links all fixed; top-level link added; I don't know where the Red Edition PDF is currently hosted.

I'll try to get back to the S3 bucket for the files.

Here's the link I have for the Red Edition PDF:

Thanks! I'll search my email for the PDF link.

If you haven't done it yet, may I suggest we go with a traditional Linux server? The Scheme community has many people (most especially the GNU people) who are suspicious of tech giants like Amazon. A standard Linux server with nginx will be very easy to arrange; I already know of three that are in active Schemers' hands.

Arthur beat me to it.

Link added.

As for files.schemers.org, if I am going to do it, I'm going to decide how much I'm willing to pay for it. In addition, I am suspicious of not using tech giants: people easily forget about their private servers, or they get taken down for one reason or another, and the community loses parts of its history (that happened to much of the R6RS infrastructure). I particularly favor Amazon because there I am not just a user, I am a paying customer.

The current issues are, I think, just config issues: when I get the bucket fully public and populated it with a few files, I think everything else will be easy-peasy.

Okay, the S3 bucket is working: README.md is the temporary file.

The domain files.schemers.org should be made to point to "http://s3.amazonaws.com/org.schemers.files", and then this link should also work.

As I mentioned, the index file will have to be maintained by hand.

You can now start sending me files to host, either by email or by URL.
