Even with Gmail "reply to all by default" feature I manage to screw this up regularly. *sigh*

Bart Botta has done some work related to OpenGL 3.0 but he has that on his own repository.

Well, you mostly would have to know your way around CFFI. Its documentation has a nice tutorial, perhaps you can start there. Feel free to use this list (or cffi-devel) if you have any questions about that. Some of us also hang around #lisp at irc.freenode.net. > Or is there another way to pick objects, apart from selection buffer > stuff or maintaining coordinates etc. by hand, that can be used with > cl-opengl in its current state? The %GL package has all the GL functions. But those versions are usually low-level and require some CFFI knowledge. For instance, %GL:SELECT-BUFFER is there but its second argument is a foreign pointer. Once you get the hang of using the %GL functions, you can implement their lispy counterparts in the GL package.
