11 that project probably is ancient history now (but only george can tell). The
12 only benefit I could see in such a project would be only for porting new
13 languages and/or giving manpower to a herd maintaining some rare flavors (compilers /
14 interpreters) (but there is a lang-misc herd, dont' know if it's
15 related to some project though). I can't find a reason atm for
16 example the lisp project to move as subproject of this and bug 151118[1]
17 does not convince me. Here[2] someone can find the original discussion
18 on this.

20 As for what you wrote about cleanliness and order, I understand what you
21 mean, but a web/wiki page listing all projects related to programming
22 languages would serve the same.
