Hi,
I wonder if it would be possible to host the project "GTKlisp" (1), stable and sturdy GTK bindings for Common Lisp, at common-lisp.net.
The main goal of the project is to provide bindings for the GTK toolkit which feel as native as possible to the Common Lisp programmer. That means, type safety, comprehensive support for garbage collection, and error recovery. It should work out of the box with cmucl, asdf, and of course gtk-2.2 with pkgconfig.
At the moment it covers some basic functionality, but the typechecking, GC and error recovery support is working. Adding new functionality should be almost trivial. Development is focused on ensuring sustainable development, portability, and in identifying techniques which could be applied to other toolkits or to bindings to other libraries.
The licence is BSD.
Regards, Mario S. Mommer

*approves* ;)
This sounds very promising. How does it work? (From your comments I'm getting the impression that over a socket -- but what does it talk to? Have you written a custom server to talk to, or what?)

Uh oh. Just reread your comments and saw that you didn't go the socket route. ;)
