I think this is one of the most serious issues which is blocking the
growth of lisp use. Speaking as someone who recently gave up trying to
write a book on how to use CL's libraries: locating them and knowing
in advance of downloading them what their purpose is are major
problems and not to be sniffed at.

To see what I mean, go to http://docs.python.org/py3k/modindex.html
and click on some stuff at random. What CL has to offer should be as
good as this. For all I know, maybe it is that good, but the
information isn't there. How would I know? (Or am I behind the times
and this has been fixed now?)
