I like your idea of focusing the effort this way. My time constraints combined with my inexperience with Lisp dictate that I can be a productive contributor if someone else writes a slew of docs for unwritten functions, along the lines Chris Dean quoted: > As an examplar of the documenation level I'm aiming for see: > http://www.weitz.de/cl-ppcre/#all-matches > > all-matches regex target-string &key start end => list > > Returns a list containing the start and end positions of all > matches of regex against target-string, i.e. if there are N > matches the list contains (* 2 N) elements.

Because of this, I'd rank documentation at or near the top of priorities for this project, since documentation which precedes code would make it much easier for me to contribute.
