Howdy folks,
There hasn't been any activity here for a few days, so I'm wondering how people are doing - in particular I'm wondering if the McCLIM people found a way to start working together?
Yeah, if you guys want to put code for the Cocoa backend into the McCLIM tree, let me know.
I sent mail to the McCLIM list about this; Duncan and I are merged and the Listener runs--sort of. It needs a lot of debugging and other work, but it seems worthwhile to check it in. There is a new Backend (currently called "Cocoa", but see below), whose structure is based on Bosco, and there is a new system-cocoa.lisp system definition and a few changes to the toplevel ports.lisp.
The current name of the Backend is "Cocoa", but that's probably not right. For one thing, it's OpenMCL-specific; what if you get an SBCL-based Cocoa Backend working, for example? I'd be interested in hearing people's naming suggestions before we go committing a new directory to McCLIM.
