lisp.org

[Nick Levine]

Clint,

Thanks for the offer. Let's talk offline about practical details. 

More generally: I have a strong belief that alu.org if it continues to exist should be a site about the ALU (organises conferences, "etc" whatever that means) and that lisp.org should be a -- new -- site about Lisp, as in python.org. Ah, but there are several lisps, none quite the same. So would we have common.lisp.org etc (or equivalent naming schemes, I don't care)? Or would we say that racket and scheme and emacs lisp and so on already have functioning websites and it's just the Common Lisp community that's never got its act together? Or what?
