If the CLRFI folks want to set up one or more Gardener projects to do things that would help the CLRFI process become a real thing, they should. The problem with CLRFI at the moment is it's not clear (to me anyway) what an outsider can do to help it along. I don't want Gardener's to sweep in and try and take over the CLRFI process--it's up to the CLRFI Editors to tell us how we can help out. Or maybe the Gardeners can find a way to achieve the goals of the CLRFI with a different process. For instance, I can imagine a reasonable extension of the Gardeners' Reports idea that would yield something like an RFI. -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
