Well, meanwhile I am a proud owner of a Powerbook with Mac OS X 10.3
Panther installed... 

I am now free to choose my computing environment as I quit my job at
Deloitte Consulting to open up my own company: PRION Consulting Services
AG: PLM and IT Management Consulting (Ok, enough marketing blah-blah)

Obvious thing to do is expand my knowledge concerning Common Lisp to the
OS X platform under OpenMCL. I already began configuring ASDF et al to
have the foundation ready for my next adventure: Cello!

I downloaded the Cells package via ASDF-INSTALL but just got the Cells
package only, with no Cello in it (and it also seems somewhat outdated).

Do I have to go to CVS checking it out manually or do you plan to make a
recent release of Cells including Cello available for ASDF-INSTALL ?

Thx for info.

Happy hacking!
