We have decided to close the Lisp umbrella project [1]. Its subprojects Common Lisp, Scheme, and Emacs already moved to the top level.
We will keep the #gentoo-lisp IRC channel and the lisp overlay; ownership of the latter will be changed to Common Lisp and Scheme. (The Emacs project has always used its own overlay.) Rationale: There is little value in having an umbrella project for Lisp related things. The few common resources don't justify having a project. The Lisp project neither has any members other than those inherited from its subprojects, and there are no packages with [email protected] as maintainer. (As a general note, most umbrella projects seem to be a remnant of the old CVS pages or even of GLEP 4 metaprojects [2], where projects were organised as a hierarchical tree. In the wiki, the structure is mostly flat, with the occasional subproject to provide additional structure.)
