There is now a public Mercurial based repository for our dictionary project, published at http://ambaradan.i-iter.org/ambaradan

Not that it contains much at the moment, apart from a few proofs of concept. Yet, I thought that if anyone was interested in the discussions about localization we are making on the mailing list, this could be of help.

This was supposed to be a mail to the list, but since I am one of those who have trouble posting from gmail, I'll better put it here.

We want to use an external CSS stylesheet on Iliad. This will make things much easier with the designers that help the project, as they shall simply edit their stuff as they usually do.

I started to adapt a basic code snippet published by Joachim Jaeckel
at http://smalltalk.gnu.org/blog/joe/first-steps-iliad-web-development-gnu-... (very useful guide! Thanks :)

So here I am, some 14 years later... That's the time that has passed since smalltalk was paying my rent. Yet, history goes in cycles, and it's smalltalk time again. I won't talk much about what I'm working on, as I'm positive I'll end up in being boring about it during the coming months. I'll rather explain why smalltalk, and why gnu-smalltalk in particular.

This post describes a session measuring the behavior of an Iliad web application using AJAX request. Memory consumption and run time were investigated for different numbers of simultaneous users.

Hi,

I am happy to announce the first public release of the Iliad web framework
(http://iliad.bioskop.fr).

Iliad features:

• standalone stateful widgets
• nice urls with a simple routing system
• simple API
• easy to setup and deploy (no complicated configuration step)
• javascript layer to update widgets using AJAX. If javascript is not enabled,

the behaviour remains the same by making normal requests.

You can download it from the svn repository:

svn co http://bioskop.fr/svn/gst/iliad/tags/0.6.0
