[LispSea] charter

[Justin Grant]

This community addition takes precedence over the draft itself in my  
opinion but then again I don't live in Seattle ;-)

Personally, I don't have any interest in de-clawing Lisp for business  
consumption by using marketing primarily.
There is definitely value in marketing but this should come as a  
result of a 'killer app/s' being written and used (i.e. Rails, Yahoo  
Store). Marketing should not be the primary effort but a side effect/ 
effort.

Those who want to learn Lisp could find guidance in the language and  
practices by attending local meetings. They would also have the  
option of becoming involved in a community project. The project could  
speak volumes to business if it was a success.
Another great side effect would be that usable frameworks could be  
extracted from such an undertaking which in turn benefit the  
community at large.

Building a web app for the LispSea community to 'get things done' is  
a good place to start.
I'm willing to take this on and/or contribute a considerable amount  
of time...
