I can only encourage you to work on CLIM stuff then, very rewarding
and there's lots of low-hanging fruit still! I can't immediately think
of stuff missing in CLIM-Desktop itself, but if you look at the
component parts (in particular McCLIM, Climacs, Closure and Beirc),
I'm sure you could find something interesting to work on. Closure in
particular could use some cleaning, if that is your cup of tea.

I don't recall ever using the standalone-building-things. The best
thing to do is to load the clim-desktop ASDF system (defined in
clim-desktop.asd) as you would any other. Don't bother with the rest,
since SBCL got support for saving executable cores it's probably
pretty much obsolete anyway.

I still use CLIM-Desktop to tie various CLIM programs together, but I
do most of my work in the component parts themselves.
