Yes it is safe for you to use usocket. While my development is not the most constantly over time - I've been contributing to cl-irc, abcl, usocket, alexis (http://hix.nu/svn-public/alexis/), Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/) and others - I'm almost always here to commit fixes if you have any, or even better: to discuss how to proceed development. (Contributions very welcome!)

The only problem with my goals is that it's a lot of work to find the comonalities and make a usable interface from that. It's not impossible, not even hard, just a lot of work.

Hope that answers your questions?

bye,


Erik.
