Interesting, I wasn't aware that there was any sharing
going on between the SLIME and ELI-SBCL efforts. Since
you are obviously talking to each other and aware of
what the other is doing, how do you see the two
efforts evolving? Do you think they will continue to
be two separate efforts? If so, what segment of the
SBCL developer community do you feel would gravitate
towards SLIME as opposed to ELI-SBCL and why? In other
words, why would an SBCL developer prefer SLIME over
ELI-SBCL (or vice versa)?

Cheers,
Bill
