That's how we keep the newbies out :-)

cells, celtk, cello only really exist in CVS:

http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?root=cells#dirlist

cells-gtk is not too hard to find:

http://common-lisp.net/project/cells-gtk

CVS, cells, celtk, cello see above.  cells-gtk is linked on the
cells-gtk project page.

There is the cells-manifesto and examples in the cells CVS.  There is
the primer and FAQ linked from the cells-gtk project page.  There is
the example application and demo test-gtk in the cells-gtk cvs.

A piece of art is never finished. :-)

cells:  "mature and stable" says the cells-manifesto.  Ken adds stuff
as required.

cells-gtk:  beta, semi-actively developed (i.e. whenever a bug comes
up or we miss functionality, we add it)

cells-ode:  close to 1.0  (I don't know what to add right now)

That, and the status of celtk/cello be left to Himself :)

HTH,
Peter

I know CVS is quite old and people use darcs, git, svn, and mercurial
these days, but what advantage is it exactly that we would get from
migrating to git?
