I agree, in addition to big infrastructure projects, there also should be a
list of page for small projects, which will serve as utilities for common-lisp
programmers and good lisp programming exercises for beginners. 

For example, I needed a rss parser which can parse rss 2.0 (I don't need it
anymore), but this is an example of a small project which can be done by a
newbie independently in a day or two. (If you are interested then try
extending cl-rss by Kevin Rosenberg and send him a patch.)
  
Other people might have some similar ideas about useful and short programming
exercises which newbies can do.

Cheers.
