So, I have received a drop of the Kiwi source code so if there are folks who are interested, we could probably start hacking on it. Then, of course, there's the issue of how we get patches we make incorporated into the ALU Wiki. So there's probably another Gardener project: finding a couple folks to volunteer to maintain the ALU Wiki. I'm pretty sure the ALU folks would be happy to have such volunteers and would give them appropriate access to do their job. -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
