I decide throw ZEBU and switch to other LALR parser tools. On  
LispWorks, I can use the "parsergen" tool which shiped with LW, and  
for other Lisps, the cl-yacc and cl-lexer can work.

Today I've done the UDP retransmit support on LispWorks, and implement  
the SNMPv1 Trap (SNMPv2-Trap, and InformRequest support are under  
way). The UDP retransmit support is necessary for product use of SNMP  
package, I'll try to use USOCKET to port to other CLs.

So much TODO, if you want more, wait:)

My goal is a intelligent network management platform based on Lisp. I  
want to use SNMP and IPMI protocol to get remote *nix server status  
(both software and hardware), store these status into SQL database  
(use CL-SQL) or Object database (use the Elephant project). Use a  
Common Lisp Web Server (CL-HTTP for LispWorks) as a user interface. I  
also write native GUI clients (some of them in cl-net-snmp repository).

The most important part of my design is A expert system built on  
KnowledgeWorks(R) or LISA (lisa.sourceforge.net), and ResearchCyc. I  
want to use AI theory to detect whether/when a remote device is health  
or not, then give SA alerts (SMS, Mail, GTalk, ...) and even operation  
advice... In this part, OPS5/CLIPS_like forward-chain rules is more  
fit than the Prolog_like backward-chain rules. The GBBopen project may  
also be used to solve something...

A little crazy, like you? ^_^
