[Lrde Annonce] Quickref open-sourced

Dear all, I'm happy to announce the first public release of Quickref, a global documentation project for Common Lisp. Quickref automatically builds a website[1] containing reference manuals for Quicklisp libraries (either those already installed or all of them). The reference manuals are generated by Declt[2] (probably the most complete documentation system for Lisp today) in Texinfo format, and then processed by makeinfo. Because Declt works by introspection, this whole process is non-intrusive: library authors do not need to do anything to support them being documented. The official Quickref website is kept up-to-date with Quicklisp, and currently documents 1588 libraries successfully. This work is the result of a collaboration with Antoine Martin, as part of an internship at LRDE. The project is still evolving: a new student will arrive in September to work on parallelization. The source code is available here: https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/quickref/quickref The resulting website may also be regenerated locally with this Docker 2-liner: docker run --name quickref quickref/quickref docker cp quickref:/home/quickref/quickref .
