dear fellow MKCL hackers,

so, i became interested in playing with mkcl, and looking into porting
it to android.

Great. But I think that I need to clarify this point first. The license of MKCL is GNU LGPL v3 as stated in the Copyright file of the MKCL source code base directory. There are a few exceptions to that in the MKCL source code but they are for historical reasons and every new piece of work is expected to be included under LGPL v3 terms. Therefore, you will have to acknowledge your understanding of and agreement with this condition in some formal way. (I think an email or a note with a pull request with a mention of it should be enough).

Managing contributions through Github is an excellent idea. I hope you will turn it into a frequent habit. ;-)

i suggest to set up a wiki where we can write up a highlevel roadmap,
collect the issues, etc... IOW where we can keep a document that can
coordinate the effort.

how about the github wiki?

Done. There is now a wiki page https://github.com/jcbeaudoin/MKCL/wiki/Port-to-Android for you to use.

Please try to edit it a bit just to make sure there is no permission issues.

FTR, i've heard that maxima got ported to android using ECL, so there
should be some good resources around there:

http://maxima.sourceforge.net/

And that points to the github repository the ECL port of Ageneau.
