Hello, There are currently 11 people on this mailing list. I would be interested in knowing which of these 11 people are here just as observers, and which ones consider working on the code. Here is some preventive maintenance I would like to see done fairly soon, so that new work would be easier: * get rid of compilation notes, * replace combinations of %set- function and defsetf with (defun (setf ...) ...), * remove files that we do not think might be worthwhile trying to support (candidates would be spell checker, mh mail, news, scribe-mode, and all the files that are commented out in hemlock.system), * replace structs with classes in many cases, * modularization issues, like associating bindings of a subsystem with the code for the subsystem, * probably more stuff I haven't seen yet. -- Robert Strandh --------------------------------------------------------------------- Greenspun's Tenth Rule of Programming: any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Common Lisp. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
