You are right, I've updated the page. If someone wants to work on a task,
write your name to the task like described on the page.

Thanks, this would be nice. And a SVN commit mailing list, if possible.
I've setup a SVN repository and for every commit an email notification can
be sent. Currently only I'm the receiver, but when using a mailing list,
everyone can subscribe and unsubscribe to the SVN commits to see the latest
project changes. I've seen this concept for the http://ps2dev.org/ SVN
repository, where I'm developing Lua Player (my nickname is Shine at this
site), and it is very useful.

I've started a milestone list, but I'm not sure, if it is the right
sequence. I think it is important to create the base system with some
simple deliver scripts for all platforms first, but then it could be
interesting and a motivation boost to add the SDL mapping and converting
some SDL samples to Lisp. Perhaps such meta discussion, which task to solve
first and which tasks at all should be included in the project, should be
discussed in this mailing list and technical details how to solve a task
etc. should be discussed in the Application Builder mailing list.
