Larrry, in order to exercise the budding gardener project process, can you create a page on the ALU Wiki along the lines of <http://wiki.alu.org/Fixing_ASDF-INSTALLable_packages> describing the SLIME-Vim project, with yourself as Champion. The point of doing that is to get a clear description of the work put down somewhere so other gardeners can see what needs to be done and where they might be able to help out. -Peter -- Peter Seibel * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gigamonkeys Consulting * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/ Practical Common Lisp * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
