About time :-) I've been getting sick of seeing "Invalid Project".

Done. It is in the openclips module under the projects cvsroot.

The CLIPS source (version 6.22) is up with the test cases distributed on
the ghg.net site (though they don't have a "real" testing framework
written yet). There are also some examples, also from somewhere on
ghg.net. The test cases and examples I have included presuming that they
are provided under the same conditions as CLIPS itself but I haven't checked.

At the moment, the LICENCE document in CVS is a BSD-like licence (the
FreeBSD copyright notice s/FreeBSD/OpenCLIPS/) so I changed the projects
licence in the sf.net catagorisation, we can change it back later if
needed, but I'd prefer to keep OpenCLIPS as free as possible, in line
with the original CLIPS release into the public domain.

There is also a brief TODO in CVS with a number of administrivia and some 
preliminary cleanup work that we'll need to do. It should really be
expanded into a roadmap of some description. I think it would be wise to
have a rough sketch of the future directions and a first release out
before announcing the project widely (e.g. on the CLIPS mailing lists).
