What is McCLIM?
McCLIM is an open source implementation of the Common Lisp Interface Manager specification, a powerful toolkit for writing GUIs in Common Lisp.
It is licensed under the GNU Library General Public License.
The McCLIM Wiki contains quite a bit of information about McCLIM, including a list of applications using it, and many screenshots of these.
You can access the McCLIM manual PDF if you want, but it's still a work in progress.
CVS
Read only access to the CVS tree is available in the mcclim module: see the common-lisp.net CVS instructions. You can also browse the repository with CVSWeb.
Mailing lists
- mcclim-devel: developer discussion; probably the best place to ask for help
- mcclim-announce: (announcements only, low traffic)
- mcclim-cvs: CVS commit messages
