Yeah. That's the one I'm referring to on our project page when I say:

   We are also aware of the common-lisp.net project to produce an  
updated FAQ
   but it seems to have languished after an initial burst of activity.

I think the cClan FAQ moved to common-lisp.net just before it died.  
I've got permission from Christophe Rhodes to grab stuff from there  
and am trying to track down an email for the other maintainer (Eric  
Marsden, I think) so I can get his permission too.
