The 2024 Medley Interlisp Project Annual Report is out with a summary of our work:

https://interlisp.org/project/status/2024medleyannualreport

The 2024 report aims in particular at people not familiar with the project or software. To achieve this the report tries to explain the rationale behind the work we did, introduces the major Medley subsystems, and links to further resources.

What do you think of the report? Would you like to contribute to the project? We look forward to your feedback.

Beau Sheil demonstrates the Interlisp-D environment and tools running on a Xerox Dolphin workstation. He uses the Masterscope program analyzer and the DEdit structure editor to gain insight into and modify the code of a program, a tree editor for linguistics applications.

This videotaped demo was originally produced for the 1981 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) held in Vancouver, Canada.

@screwtape Thanks for the kind words, it's great to see Medley can still make an impact. And, as you noticed, exploring the system pays off.

@prahou

Hello from the Medley Interlisp Project! We revive and modernize the Medley Interlisp extensible graphical operating and programming environment created at Xerox PARC.

https://interlisp.org

We post news & updates, tips, historical info, and more. We look forward to connecting with researchers, software preservation experts, Lisp programmers, retrocomputing enthusiasts, and anyone interested.
