Wanted: improvements to Interlisp bibliography

Open masinter opened this issue 3 years ago • 19 comments

The bibliography we have is of mixed quality:

  • There are bad links, bad metadata, and few annotations
  • There are many documents in our docs and MEDLEY-PDFs and ENVOS-PDFs that haven't been cataloged
  • etc

I was hoping that the web site bibliography could be clustered by (half?) decade, to separate (late 60s) (Early 70s) (Late 70s) ... in order to correlate with Teitelman's History of Interlisp and the Interlisp/history repository.

The long term goal is for our bibliography to be on par with: the Interlisp Family bibliography maintained by the Software Preservation Group.


https://scholar.archive.org/search?q=interlisp&filter_type=everything has a lot of material that mentions Interlisp and Interlisp-D, and the History and Timeline documents have some bibliographic references. From looking at this, there are various categories; from papers and articles ABOUT Interlisp, to citations that merely mention Interlisp in passing (the latter not so interesting.

I'd like to collect metadata and online copies (if available) of Interlisp Reference Manuals (many of them I donated to CHM several years ago.
