Excellent idea! Please let me know when you will be doing this. Currently, I would possibly profit from an explanation of the kinds of "transversal" ASDF does over the "system of systems" it needs to do, but that is not too sharply defined as a question yet.

Dear Lisp hackers,
I'm considering recording a walk through the ASDF sources.
I'd like to have an interactive session over Google Hangout with one or a few people, explaining the current code in asdf/defsystem (i.e. not going into uiop, except to minimally explain what asdf uses). That should take about 2 hours.
To enjoy the walkthrough, you need to be somewhat fluent in Common Lisp, and somewhat familiar with how to use ASDF, though not necessarily with either extending it or hacking its internals.
If at least one person is familiar with ASDF 2 and has questions, that could be interesting, or that could be a separate session.
Please respond me to this email (privately or publicly) if you're interested.
