Hey,
for your information, there is such website (featuring Common Lisp)
created by third-party developer Fernando Borretti. It may be found
here: http://lisp-lang.org/ . Having lisp.org pointing at the same host
would be an improvement.
I think that getting in touch with him is a good idea – adding to CC.
Best regards,
Daniel

Clint,
Thanks for the offer. Let's talk offline about practical details.
More generally: I have a strong belief that alu.org <http://alu.org>
if it continues to exist should be a site about the ALU (organises
conferences, "etc" whatever that means) and that lisp.org
<http://lisp.org> should be a -- new -- site about Lisp, as in
python.org <http://python.org>. Ah, but there are several lisps, none
quite the same. So would we have common.lisp.org
<http://common.lisp.org> etc (or equivalent naming schemes, I don't
care)? Or would we say that racket and scheme and emacs lisp and so on
already have functioning websites and it's just the Common Lisp
community that's never got its act together? Or what?

an honor.
I get that no one of note knows me and almost certainly no one knows
of my company, so it'd be a stretch to trust me with anything, but
the offer is there.

Now that we've established why lisp.org <http://lisp.org> and its

The website at lisp.org <http://lisp.org> contained a photo of
John McCarthy (and nothing else) since the week he died six years
ago. What's the message?
In contrast take a quick look at (say) python.org
<http://python.org>, a site devoted to really assisting people to
use that language.
Do we care, and if we do how do we go about effecting change?
