I'll help when I can but I'm afraid my contributions will be sporadic, and not exactly constructive. The best I can really do is to identify bugs in the manual. Here are a few such bugs I've identified already: (info "(elephant) Berkeley DB") "Elephant only works with version 4.5 of Berkeley DB." (info "(elephant) The Store Root") "...'class root' will be discussed later..." - the two-word phrase 'class root' never occurs again. (info "(elephant) Class Indices") "See src/elephant/classindex-utils.lisp" - doesn't exist "Variable *default-indexed-class-synch-policy*" - doesn't exist Hope this helps (a little). > On Dec 3, 2009, at 5:09 AM, Shaneal Manek wrote: >> >> I just wanted to quickly let everyone know that I'm using elephant in >> production on my start up (http://postabon.com). I'm a little confused as to how to post a Bon. I want to pinpoint a restaurant in Istanbul, called Lades but there's no 'Place Pin' tool and what's the point of providing the resaurant name and saying it's near 'Me' when all the info you have on my location is the latitude and longditude of my ISP's servers? In fact, I can't post my Bon it just says "you must select a location" but with the map hovering over the location of the restaurant there's no easy way of doing that. >> Thanks to everyone here for creating such a great piece of open source >> software.
