Probably, the Common Lisp wiki cliki.net is an already established place
where our community-driven editing can happen. 

When I have seen the front pages of 
 
 http://cliki.net and http://mcclim.cliki.net 

for the first time, I felt totally lost. I had no idea where I have to
go to get the information I wanted. I resorted to the "click every link
you see" strategy and read pretty much of the entire wiki. 

If it's ok with the Wiki owners, 
(Hello Daniel, that's the reason why I cc'd you in this mail)
I'd like to purpose a fair amount of wiki gardening. The wiki's frontpages
should not try to present all it content on the first page, but should
guide the unsullid soul along different levels of detail (a bit like a
Huffmann tree, most wanted stuff reachable quickly, infos about FFI a
bit later). 

Also, we can probably see some feature changes of the wiki too. Adding a
"Discuss this page" shouldn't be hard. I'm not sure what's with more
fancy CSS layout, but I think we can spice cliki up visually too.

I volunteer to do wiki gardening work and making purposals for
alternative wiki designs. Are any gardeners with me :) ?
