   I agree, communications are very important.  Why not syndicate the  
same rss feed on common-lisp.net and cliki?  The owners would  
probably be willing, and it solves the problem that beginners may not  
find our site first.

   Hi, by the way!  This is my first post here.  I'm not new to Lisp  
at all, but I think this is an important endeavor and I'll help with  
it if I can.

   Another thing which I think is big is having a single central  
repository of software - something others have mentioned already.   
CCLAN already exists, but looks to be unmaintained.  It has some nice  
infrastructure for mirroring across servers, that seems worth  
keeping; could gardeners take over the maintenance?  It would also be  
nice if there were a web page with descriptions of each package,  
something like what common-lisp.net does now but for all programs,  
not just the ones hosted on CL.
