I watched the video. It’s not immediately obvious what’s new here. Nor is it obvious why any nifty features (inspector, trace statistics, etc…) couldn’t be added to slime-contrib without a fork.
Some comments on the motivation for the fork would be helpful.
thanks,
Cyrus

Hi list,
For some time now, I've been working on SLY, a fork of SLIME. I believe it is ready to go live now. There's a screencast at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqWkVvubnSI
and the project page lives at github
http://github.com/capitaomorte/sly.git
SLY forked around SLIME 2.4 and is currently on-par with bugfixes in SLIME 2.9. It will continue to track SLIME's bugfixes.
A list of changes SLY is available in its NEWS.md file. SLY is still alpha for now.
I believe I have done everything right fork-wise, maintaining the licensing notice, crediting the original authors prominently in the README and in any commits cherry-picked from this project.
Nevertheless, I invite the current SLIME maintainers to double check-check and notify me so that I can correct any mistakes.
Thanks João
