The project is to make clisp MultiThreaded (=MT), also known as
multiprocessing in olden times.

This has been discussed on and off for years and many of us have
wished for it.  Sam seems to have found someone in Russia who he
says can do it for very few dollars (possibly still a reasonable
number of rubles) - he suggests a few thousand dollars might be
enough.

I don't claim to understand the details of the proposed implementation
but I'm willing to trust Bruno's judgment.

Given the amount I thought it made sense to ask for contributions from
individuals.  Of course, if you can justify charging your research
contract or spending company funds, better still.  Let me know how
much you're willing to contribute.  If the contributions exceed the
actual cost then I think we should just reduce each contribution in
proportion.

I see that Sam has volunteered me to collect the pledges.  I guess
that's only fair since I was trying to volunteer him.  I guess we'll
figure out how to collect the actual money after it's determined that
there will be enough to do something worth while.

The address above seems not to work.
(So far I think the problem is in the sourceforge mailer.)
Instead use the address from which I send this message,
