Because we're small, it's whatever you feel like fixing, because it affects you, you think you know how to fix it, or you want to learn more about that particular area. We're all volunteers; we do what we want.
- What is the most important principle to consider in attempting to add a feature?
I suppose that it's genuinely useful in some way, hopefully to more than just you, but that's not really necessary, I suppose. The best thing is to file an issue and we can discuss it there.
- What is the most important principle to consider when proposing an architectural change to the project?
I suppose it should end up simplifying things in some way. One thing that Carl and I have talked about is simplifying/removing things from src/code/unix.lisp to make the interface to the C function simpler from a Lisp interface viewpoint. There are some others that have been filed as issues. These are relatively small. Ray
