jackdaniel: you seem to be the current head developer for McCLIM. As I'm using McCLIM quite extensive in the last time, for a devops project, I would like to contribute more to McCLIM fixing anyway.

ikrabbe: Sounds like a great suggestion. Too bad you are not into the implementation of Common Lisp systems, so that you could help with SICL. :)

beach: can take a look at that project, but I have a more use case driven approach into programming, so I'm not primary interested in such systems, as long as they are stable. Also I possibly miss a bit knowledge there.

Though my devops topics might also stress a few of such abstractions. If I find time I will take a look into that.

pjb: Do you mean that CLIM on top of a NextStep / Display Postscript backend uses more abstract units for sizing windows?

I guess I'm interested in how CLIM implements device independence. The only graphics I've really played around with is Display Postacript, so I expected CLIM to indicate sizes with some kind of distance unit. Instead, the unit appears to be implicit, and perhaps can change depending on the backend?

reb: if you stick around until tomorrow afternoon I'll elaborate about a) the current state, b) a desired state
