"Cello" for short. Unless that is already taken? Google says not.

Cellophane. CL sounds like Cell if you say it real fast. Driven by 
Cells. You look thru it to see the good stuff inside. Get it? :)

Mission statement
-----------------
To create not just a GUI, but the ultimate GUI. Our model: when CL 
answered the call to objects with CLOS. The spec: easy, powerful, 
lightweight, close to the sand (well, OS and/or OpenGL), and extensible. 
Did I mention universal?

I am playing now with CL-SDL, might have to migrate to pure OpenGL if 
SDL won't do multiple windows.

Currently just up to NeHe OpenGL tutorial #5, so don't hold your breath. 
Major challenges ahead: outline fonts, then "picking".

 There used to be a browser named Cello. A long time ago...(remember
Mosaic?)

Yes I do. :) here's the Cello you recall, circa 1994:

Who knew lawyers could code? Anyway, that's OK, a browser is not a CL 
GUI, my trademark still stands.

I think SDL will do multiple windows soon. Even if not, it may be
better to extend it, to be able to benefit from SDL on the long run. I
think we have to think on the long term...
