What about users of commercial CLIM implementations? On the other hand, if those users are sufficiently interested in CLIM, they should probably put some pressure on their vendors.
If I understand the situation correctly, the only CLIM applications that clients of commercial Lisp systems use are legacy applications that are not developed further. As long as CLIM is maintained intact and available on new releases of the Lisp implementation, the clients are happy.
Robert, Duncan (and others): are you suggesting that McCLIM should become a new CLIM standard[*]?
Not exactly. I am suggesting that the developers around McCLIM are probably the best suited to making the standard evolve, so I am suggesting that we work on clarifying and fixing the document in ways that would alter it as little as possible, and then that we make McCLIM a correct implementation of that fixed-up standard.
