Hi, Oisin.

Cello is alive and well on my desktop and in this Windows (and hopefully 
soon OS X) application: http://www.theoryyalgebra.com/

I do not see much mail on cello-devel, more on cells-devel.

Cello is a tough project for noobs, mostly because of assembling all the 
libraries and getting them built on non-windows platforms. It can take days.

I just checked common-lisp.net and the CVS repositories seem to be 
inaccessible at the moment, but it sould be here:

    common-lisp.net:/project/cello/cvsroot

I was able to do a Cells commit last night so hopefully it is just 
temporary.

Me, I am getting more interested in Web2.0 these days, but I sure did 
have fun with OpenGL and OpenAL. OpenGL especially was a blast.

If you just need a GUI, Cells-Gtk or Celtk might be easier installs.

hth, kenny
