Maybe we could get Matt Peterson to walk us through some web
development with Lisp. He's done some work with that.
I know that Tom Hicks has done a lot with Lisp -- maybe he could
entertain us with something.
I can put together 20-25 minutes on the top few featues of Lisp which
have made it so long-lived (with some examples). Let me know,
though, because I don't want to expend time if no one is interested in this.
I've got a canned presentation on GNU Emacs Lisp that I've given to
other audiences. I could certainly haul it out. One version of it
is here:

For those in need of an intro or a refresher, I recommend this as a
good background.
Don't spend too much time on the details, however, as I will be
talking more about
the concepts that Lisp has to offer.
