Hi Mikel,
I'm Mikel Bancroft (mikel@franz.com). I'm going to be the person responsible for using SLIME with Allegro CL and working (or providing fixes) with you to improve how they cooperate.
Welcome aboard!
I don't currently know the admin password on common-lisp.net so somebody else will need to add you to CVS.
I'll be installing slime this afternoon so I can get acclimated with the environment. At some point I figure i'll be able to take a more active role in discussing some of the compatibility issues that appear in the newsgroup as well as some of the open tickets we have in our bug tracking system.
Thank you. This will be very good.
Please send us a note on the list any time you have questions. We also have a HACKING file in CVS that documents a few conventions (mostly how we handle the ChangeLog).
Cheers, Luke
