Hello Faré, Thanks for this. I'd be interested in joining sharplispers. Does anyone know the process for that?
I'm willing and likely capable of helping, but I don't have time to actively find a project to adopt. So a more central place for issues to be handled, regardless of project, is attractive. Maybe this could be a topic at the 2018 ELS in Marbella? -Jason > On 17 Dec 2017, at 05:58, Faré <fah...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Many prominent CL developers have stopped maintaining their CL > projects, as I myself may do soon: > Nathan Froyd, Henrik Hjelte, Hans Hübner, David Lichteblau, Gabor > Melis, Nikodemus Siivola, etc. > > Some of their projects have lots of unanswered PRs on github an some > even break when compiled with a recent Quicklisp and/or the newest > ASDF.
