I need some more feedback. Again, all questions below refer to the "Fixing ASDF-INSTALLable packages" project, but I hope the discussion will be useful also for other gardeners: http://wiki.alu.org/Fixing_ASDF-INSTALLable_packages > So based on trying to solve those problems simultaneously I think > something like what you outlined is a good start.

I think all of > that can happen on the ALU Wiki. John Wiseman's list includes about 100 applications with ASDF-INSTALL problems. If each gardener works on about 10 applications, about 10 gardeners would be needed, especially considering that some problems are present only on certain operating systems. Do you think it's better to have a single champion, possibly me, that recruits other gardeners? If so, I would ask all those willing to contribute to add the lists of packages they plan to work on at the ALU Wiki page, together with sketches of what work they propose to do--something like my sample entry at the project page. > Then when you think you've got the problem and the approach well > defined you can submit it to the list where the "steering > committee"[1] (need a better name for that) can vote Apache style on > whether to "bless" it as an official CL Gardeners project. Assuming If you think that a single champion is appropriate, the next step would be for him to submit a project request.
