After the discussion about a random number library I've been thinking
about how to implement a repository or register of similar things. At
the moment a repository containing the actual code seems too much but a
directory or register looks like it could be useful. I've set up a
database and associated web pages for a directory of software for
Poly/ML. Rather than maintain all the data myself I'm asking anyone who
has a library, application, sample code or anything else to register
with the site and add the appropriate entries. As a starting point I've
made an entry for the Windows GUI library that is currently included in
the Poly/ML distribution but which I've now pulled out into a separate
repository on Github.
This is a bit of an experiment and I don't know how useful it will turn
out to be. The web pages themselves could do with being improved but
they should be in a state for beta-testing. I've selected fields based
on what I think would be useful but they can always be changed. The web
site is at https://www.polyml.org/software/index.php and is linked from
the main Poly/ML website at www.polyml.org.
Let me know what you think.
