The lisp-syntax facility in climacs includes powerful indentation functionality (ie. the automatic and syntax-driven indentation of lisp forms). Because it operates on pre-parsed syntactic forms rather than a textual representation of the code it should (and, in some cases already does) outperform emacs, at least in correctness.
The purpose of this project is to (a) understand the existing code, (b) document it, (c) add indentation rules for forms that don't yet have them (but see (e)), (d) provide a way for users to specify rules for their own forms (which may be covered by (b)), and (e) write the ultimate LOOP indentation rule! This project would be suitable for 1 to 3 gardeners with a fair understanding of lisp syntax -- or the ability to read the spec and type TAB in emacs. No knowledge of clim is required.
