Deadlines that are pilling up on my desk, which directly translates  
into the unability to go through your book so that I can at last  
pretend I am lisp litterate :) I suppose I am not a typical lurker  
because I want to help (I had visions about Lisp ;) but technically/ 
knowledge wise I can't, or I don't see what I can do.

I am a translator by trade but you don't really need that right now  
do you ?
I work in an OS/Java project: a translation support application  
(OmegaT @ sourceforge), but Lisp doc "formats" not being formalized  
(even if formalization were necessary) I can't propose RFEs there.  
Standard formats (HTML/text/OD/java properties) are supported though.

Also I do a lot of mail, but I am not very much a web person. Maybe a  
(bi-)weekly/monthly automatic projects status report to the list  
would help maintaining the stimulation level. ?
