Not very long ago in a related universe such a wiki projekt started and has easily become the number one resource for ... emacs lisp. When I first came across http://www.emacswiki.org there wasn't much content and look at it now. Oh, and, please, don't point to cliki which is limited to free stuff and features a quite weak engine underneath. Having an oddmuse-like lisp wiki engine would be a winner, starting with oddmuse itself might be worth a try (no flames, please :-), but going wiki seems a must to me. It might happen that lispniks.org becomes the thing I expected when I first found cliki. I will stay tuned to this list and listen eagerly. Regards Stefan Kamphausen PS: Long time emacs lisp user and common lisp watcher who finally started with cl after reading Peters book (the dead tree edition, of course) in early 2005. Yes, there are people still coming to this language ;-). I was lucky in that my employer paid for a two days workshow with Edi, and that combined with the movies that came up at the same time helped a lot getting through the beginning stages. Just to introduce myself. -- Stefan Kamphausen --- http://www.skamphausen.de a blessed +42 regexp of confusion (weapon in hand) You hit.
