I'd like to see a list of suggested libraries, something like Tim Daly proposed when he followed Steele 2nd Ed, but hopefully instead of only copying out of a book or webpage (Python's library comes to mind, python-on-lisp notwithstanding), I'd also like to see people suggest libraries that would solve problems for them, and those should be prioritized. I'd emphasize starting with a small list, with the focus on what people actually need. For example, I doubt anyone else here would have an immediate need for it, but I'd dig writing a simple quaternion library, so I'd like to stick that on the list. (Tangent: I'd like to have somebody volunteer to advise me a little on the API design, since I'm such a noob.) I'd also like to see someone with an eye for this take that list and see where adding more primitive libraries would make sense as support for the suggested higher-level libraries. (At some point somebody's gonna need to put their design stamp on this thing so the result doesn't feel like a fragmented, inconsistently conceived set of functions.) Then your roadmap is mostly done, and the documentation standard will be required as writing docs is probably the next logical step, na?
