Hello Jean-Christophe,
Well you asked for it... ;-)
For starters, perhaps you could dig up some dirt on Kyoto Common Lisp
for the Common Lisp Dictionary?
If you're looking to get a feel for the Japanese lisp community
http://jp.franz.com/index.html
http://jp.franz.com/jlug/en/jlugm2000/index.html
http://www.msi.co.jp/
Are places I'd think to look first...
Also, maybe paulgraham.com has some lisp-centric essays waiting for
you ;-) (of course I'd ask him first)
There are some great people out there doing work with natural
languages with lisp (if that is your interest), maybe you could find
inspiration there?
Off the top of my head I can remember Albert Yeap (GOFAI) and also the
LangUtils guys from ILC 2005
(http://www.international-lisp-conference.org/2005/speakers.html)
Also the CLIMACS people (http://common-lisp.net/project/climacs/)
would probably be interested in someone helping develop a natural
language parser for the project...
...wow... I'll bet you'll never ask for ideas for things to do on a
public list again ;-)
Anyways, It's cool you want to help. I think most of all just learn
(or keep learning) lisp and everything else will come.
regards
Nick
