+<h1>Common Lisp ANSI compliance test suite</h1>
+
+<h2>Introduction</h2>
+
+<p>This test suite - created by P. F. Dietz - started in the <a
+href="http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gcl">GCL</a> (GNU
+Common Lisp)
+ <a href="http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gcl/gcl/ansi-tests/">repository.</a>
+  Since its inception many CL implementors
+  have come to use it to test compliance of their implementations.
+
+<p>Recent maintenance and extension of the test suite within the
+GCL repository has come to a halt.  Because of the important position
+the test has come to fullfil, it would really be a loss if things stayed
+that way.
+
+<p>With the creation of this project, we hope to create a platform for
+discussion of the ansi standard as well as compliance to it.  The test
+suite serves as a sound basis to record outcomes of such discussions.
+
+<h2>Project aims</h2>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><b>A tool for testing compliance</b><br />
+      making a tool which developers can depend upon as a stand alone project
+  <li><b>A platform for discussion</b><br />
+      of the ansi specification and ways to implement it
+  <li><b>Tools to periodically automatically run the tests</b>,<br />
+    saving and or distributing results, allowing automated monitoring and
+    aiding analysis of results
+  <li><b>Extend the current test suite</b><br />
+    in a way which allows for easy
+    integration with any testing implementors want to do regarding
+    their own language extentions
+</ul>
+
+<h2>How?</h2>
+
+<p>Everybody interested in the above - especially implementors of
+  Common Lisp implementations [not limited to Open Source implementations]
+  is invited to join the <a
+ href="http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ansi-test-devel">developers mailing list</a>.
