Well... It would be nice to get to the point where there is
framebuffer
nic card
keyboard
mouse
storage/filesystem

Getting to the point where you could bootstrap development would be  
really cool.

I am a compsci.
Most of my experience is in c/c++ although I did code some scheme for  
nearly 7 years.

I could help out with low level systems stuff with some hand holding.
Currently I find myself needing to study up on networking so maybe  
the ipv4 system?

Honestly I've never done much clisp but have always been interested  
in the language.  I'm looking for a project.  Do you have any good  
suggestions?
