Hello,

A few weeks ago I received a common-lisp.net account (mhaverbeke), and I'd like to add two more projects to it. If you could take a look at these and, if they sound good, create the project dirs & mailing lists I would be much obliged.

The first one is called Postmodern and is similar to CLSQL, but Postgresql specific. This means it can use a lot of the cool stuff Postgresql provides instead of aiming for a lowest common denominator. Other improvements are a more general SQL-from-S-expressions syntax, a way to define your database structure from Lisp, and not relying on C libraries (while still being blindingly fast, of course).

The other one is positively tiny (a hundred lines, with comments), and can be used to convert lisp floating point numbers to and from a binary representation as defined by IEEE 754. If you'd rather not have a proliferation of mini-projects I can just put this under Postmodern (which uses it), and provide a separate tarball there.

Both are released under a BSD-style license.

Regards, Marijn Haverbeke
