I'm not sure common-lisp.net is the right place for a gardeners RSS
feed.  I don't think people stop by clnet in their daily routine
unless they are actively working on a project or curious about what
software might reside there.  Planet Lisp seems like an excellent
suggestion to me.

Of course, if I'm missing something and common-lisp.net could provide
a useful piece of the puzzle please let me know.  At the very least I
plan to add a link to your website (once you get one that looks decent
enough) to the front page on clnet.

I believe this is what Marc Battyani's directory idea is all about but
I'll let him talk more about it.

ERik.
