The next step is to jumble things around so that the backend implements a small and well-defined interface, and swank.lisp exports as little as possible to support it.
And to use James's code for this! Extremely nice stuff in your web directory which I didn't properly appreciate before diving back into backend hacking :-). I think you've split it up and documented it beautifully.
I recall we grumbled about the number of files initially, but after trying a less-split version me and Dan came around to your view. With just a frontend+backend pair of files I got yucky circular compilation dependencies.
What's the status of the code - is the stuff in http://jamesjb.com/slime/ the latest? Does it work? Let's use it!
