I guess you could say there are two somewhat active Elephant developers right now, and I'm one of them. > I'm starting to wonder if many people really use elephant, Ian and me are using it every day in GNU/Linux environments.. > and whether any elephant developers actually read this list? > > In short, I'm starting to become pretty disillusioned with elephant in > particular and the state of Common Lisp libraries generally. I'm sorry to hear this, and I can't really agree. It's true that sometimes stuff doesn't work out of the box, but that's the case everywhere unless the project is *very* well-staffed and used by a large number of people at the same time. > Is it because I'm using bleeding edge versions of everything I wonder? Please, be patient. This is unpaid support and from what I've gathered so far your questions on this and other lists have all been answered within a few days maximum. People's systems can differ vastly (e.g. libraries, bus width, Lisp implementation) and not all of these issues can be figured out immediately, no matter how competent the person at the other end is.
