 DefDoc - A CLOS-extensible document creation system which combines the
 best of Lisp (OOP, dynamic memory management, simple code
 representation), TeX (aesthetically pleasing wrapping engine, code
 intermixed with text), and LaTeX (large library of document
 elements).

 DefMUD - A CLOS-extensible framework for developing multi-user online
 role-playing games. Players will all be controlled either by humans or
 by AI and will have and be able to gain knowledge of skills and spells,
 in a level-less and class-less system.

 Define-Window-Manager - A CLOS-extensible window manager influenced by
 sawfish that uses McCLIM for much of the UI. Can coexist as a one CLIM
 application in a single lisp instance with any other applications such
 as a desktop pager, applets, and/or a custom shell.

 DefPlayer - A CLOS-extensible media player/viewer that uses
 CLIM. Media are categorized by both predefined and user-definable
 characteristics and preferences can be assigned dynamically to create
 random sequences of media to play/view.

 DefEditor - A CLOS-extensible structured document editor that uses
 CLIM. Planned document formats include Lisp and DefDoc. Annotations,
 cross-referencing, documentation (and other information) lookup, and
 formatting customizations will all be available without compromising
 compatibility with the normal plain-text document format that is saved
 to disk.


All projects have some code, but none are usable.

They will all be MIT-style licensed.

> Is the source code somewhere?

The purpose of setting up these projects on c-l.org is so that there can
be a publically accessible repository for these projects, so the code
will be there when the projects are set up. :)
