Dear Sir/Madam,

my name is Juanjo Garcia Ripoll and I am the maintainer of the Common-Lisp implementation ECL.

ECL is a community sustained project which has long been hosted at SourceForge. However, in the last months SourceForge has failed to provide us with reliable anonymous access to CVS, something that ECL definitely needs -- due to fast development, we rather rely on CVS access instead of releases.

Hence, I would like to apply for a source repository at the Common-Lisp archive. We do not need much space, only the CVS repository and a homepage that will probably be a straightforward redirection to the old ecls.sf.net domainname. In particular I would rather have no mailing lists in common-lisp, as there is already a low-traffic one in SourceForge and having more mailing lists will lead to duplication and confusion.

Would this be possible? Are there any special requirements for the hosting at Common- Lisp? In particular, I mean whether this is free and whether there are copyright issues regarding the ownership of the project and of the data.

Regards,

Juanjo
