Request for comments: Design of common-lisp.net and Logo

[Mario S. Mommer]

Hi Max,

thanks for your efforts!

If you have time, we would really appreciate your help with the website
and its design. I at least am somwhat swamped in work right now so I
would rather come back to you next week to discuss details. Would that
be OK?

Regards,

	Mario
