Good point, we shouldn't let this slide. I've notified the owners of the projects without webpages. Hopefully they will comply shortly.
I suggest that we require a paragraph's worth of description from new projects -- something that will be automatically put on the project index.html.

I think we should provide an absolutely minimal page that people have to fill in before the project gets on the front page. I propose the attached one.
Another thing I was wondering about was if the current number of default mailing lists isn't too high. I think that for most projects two lists (-cvs and some equivalent of -devel plus -help) is enough. One can always add more should the need be felt by anyone involved. Thoughts?

I pretty much agree, but can live with the current arrangement as well. If the current setup minimizes administrative pain for Erik, it's probably worht it. ;)

Ok, then let's keep it that way.

On a second thought, I do not think it is a very good sample. It lacks the licence, for instance.
I would like to seize the oportunity to propose hosting for the project "SAMPLE", a sample common-lisp.net project. I don't really know what licence, if any, would be appropriate...
The idea is to have a simple template that other people can edit to suit their needs. We would have a style file, a few empty directories, and a litle readme with some minimal guidelines. Thoughts?

I approve.
I just wonder if normal documentation would not serve the same purpose better -- or if the goal is more ambitious a sort of clnet development framework (what that would include I don't know)?
Also, alternatively stuff like this could be also done under the clo-project. But maybe that would be too confusing.
