In the interest of keeping our users happy, do you (Nikodemus) think we should go ahead and create the Cello project given that it's basically the same as Cells (with regards to license etc.) and given the fact that Mario approved Cells?
I suggested that Kenny apply for Cello separately mainly for organizational clarity (and the hunch that there are plenty of people who may be interested in one, but not the other). ;)
...but give Mario a day or two to respond, unless Cello is in urgent need of CVS space?
Absolutely not. I have to switch from Freeglut 1.x to a shiny new FG2.0, which will wreak havoc since I forked FG1 pretty badly. This will also mean I need to grab, build, and learn a couple of (open) text libs, because I also added text handling to FG. So my work is cut out for me before I have anything to release.
(Kenny: If that is the case (danger of forking due to off-cvs parallel development, etc), let Erik know so that he can create it. In that case will worry about the administrivia later...)
There is actually room here for a devil's advocate argument:
"Should Common-lisp.net host multiple projects with greatly overlapping objectives?"
I have zero problem with doing all this under one project (I'd just have separate bundles/directories/whatever for Cells and Cello) and it might even be a lot more manageable that way until/if one or the other catches on. I can see myself over on a Cello list saying, "Oh, that's a Cells question, let's take it to cells-devel so folks there can see it". Ugh, sounds awful. :)
One project, then? :)
