The yin-yang logo with lambdas was designed by Guy Steele, and he has granted permission for its use to Common Lisp Foundation (the entity which runs common-lisp.net website and the gitlab.common-lisp.net repo). Source: about 2 years ago

A wiki and pm tool I personally like a lot, simple, lightweight, is trac but there is no free hosting available — but I could work on hosting on AWS for instance. MoinMoin is also a good and simple wiki. You are using Medium a lot, which could also be a sensible option but it is more a publishing platform than a collaborative platform. Gitlab is also a popular choice I believe and we could use the instance on... Source: almost 3 years ago

Here you can find the latest public code: http://arclanguage.org/ But I don't think there has been any public updates since that release. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Well, kind of, at least considering the last public version of Arc, that HN uses (found here: http://arclanguage.org/) It seems to be storing stuff directly on disk, on the same host that the software itself runs on. So you're right if you consider the filesystem a sort of database, but otherwise no :). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

>Where is the HN source code right now? Free and Open? Yes and no. HN itself is running a proprietary fork of Arc Lisp, which you can find here[0]. The Arc maintainters don't take public PRs or feature requests, and HN itself has numerous changes to the codebase which aren't public for business reasons. There is a public fork of Arc called Anarki[1] which has no direct connection to HN or Arc Lisp, and for which... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

Dammit, I thought this was about Arc language (the language/platform that HN uses, http://arclanguage.org/). Guess I'm stuck with using Anarki still. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

The original version was open sourced (Perl artistic License) http://arclanguage.org/ There is an active fork in https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki but it's totally independent and the current conde in HN can be (very) different.
