new homepage and mailing lists for asdf?

hi,

  in the interest of faciliting further development of asdf and its
  extensions I have recently created an asdf project on cl.net. 

  http://common-lisp.net/project/asdf

  The advantages to hosting asdf on cl.net as opposed to sourceforge
  are, imho:

  1) there is a project named asdf with it's own home page and mailing
     lists. newbies often have a hard time figuring out where the asdf
     documentation is located and having asdf hosted inside cclan is
     confusing, especially when you consider that asdf is by far and
     away better known and more used than cclan itself.

  2) cl.net is already home to many lisp projects.

  3) cl.net's mailing list archives as far easier to use than
     sourceforge.

  4) we can provide a single download locations for asdf extensions
     (asdf-binary-locations, build-asdf-package, etc.) in a way which,
     for whatever reason, isn't currently done.

  I want to make it clear that I am _not_ attempting to fork asdf nor
  am I auto-proclaiming myself an asdf maintainer. I just feel that,
  given asdf's central role in common-lisp development, it deserves
  its own (non-cliki) home page and mailing lists. I have not created
  a repo for asdf on cl.net and won't do that unless asked to by
  asdf's current maintainers. (btw who maintains asdf?)

  This new project has not yet been announced (i haven't edited the
  cliki page or posted to any mailing lists other than this one).

thanks,
