And we have not even made formal announcements. When we do, looks like 
we will discover even more related work. My advice?

 Take a look, contact the developer to see how active they are, and 
figure out as efficiently as possible how much added value another 
project brings, ask the community for its input (cll, PlanetLisp, Lisp 
#IRC, etc).

Usually I can write something from scratch as fast as I can figure out 
some one else's system, which probably will need modification or 
extension, but now I am working on someone else's code, which may not be 
as good and which I definitely need to learn before I even know if it is 
any good. We could spend the whole summer looking at OPC (Other People's 
Code).

It is great if we discover a gem of open source, but let's not spend the 
summer chasing OPC in the hope of somehow saving time in spite of the 
search and learning curve and probably repair/extension curve of OPC.
