Hello all, Those of you who have visited #lisp on irc.freenode.net know of a little combination web-server and IRC bot named "lisppaste", which saves the channel from floods when people want to share code snippets. Lisppaste started out as a simple little hack using Araneida and the guts of weird-irc, but it has grown considerably: it has spawned a new library (cl-irc, based on weird-irc), added paste persistence, paste annotation, multiple channel support, and now RSS support and direct linking to the meme.b9.com IRC logs. It is quite stable and used by many people in #lisp every day. It's also become a kind of persistent part of #lisp too; the paste annotation and paste persistence mean that people refer to and respond to old pastes to keep a collection of code or documents going during discussion. Now that it links to the meme.b9.com logs, people can browse back and forth between the two. It's a fairly good example of a non-trivial web and network application in Common Lisp, so if you're interested in such things take a look at http://www.common-lisp.net/project/lisppaste . To see what the pastebot has acquired so far, check out http://www.common-lisp.net/paste/list , and to syndicate it in RSS try http://www.common-lisp.net/paste/list.rss .
