Well, judging from the reactions on blogs to the initial announcement
here, quite some people have heard about it and seem interested. But
that didn't result in more people hacking on it, which is unfortunate.

I guess in part it's because there are not that many people really into
both Python and Lisp, and those who are might not find this an
interesting project because there is nothing "wow" to show, yet.

So you are right about the project silence. Right now it's a one-person
pet project, and progress is slow. But I'm already quite happy about
the current state: stable, usable, and fairly complete.

As for more exposure: I'd prefer to wait with big announcements until
there are really interesting things achieved.

Thanks a lot for your interest and comments!
