irc meetup on the future of felix

Anyone out there interested in having a meeting on the future of felix? I'm tentatively thinking Wednesday at 7pm PST (I believe 1pm-ish on Thursday for the Australians) on #felix. We've stagnated a bit but I don't feel that felix is dead. I think some folks are just unmotivated. I've got some ideas on some major projects that could be fun, like fully supporting the iphone, writing a llvm backend, and rewriting the standard library to take more of an advantage of felix's capabilities. I'd also like to explore dropping features from felix that are redundant and confusing. Finally, I'd also like to explore the implementation of felix, and how it could be changed. For instance, supporting partial compilation, how should we deal with all these output files, generating documentation, and are there better command line tools that we could use.
Please let me know by replying here or the mailing list if you're coming, or if you'd like to change the date/time. I'm also logged into #felix most of the day, so feel free to stop by there too.
Who wants to write a lightweight renderer?

I saw another language comparison on reddit today, this time to implement a global illumination renderer. Anyone up for writing a felix implementation?
