Hi!
I'm writing a cryptographic library in Common Lisp and I wonder if you would be interested in hostng it. It's not a large, all-encompassing library, but the goal is to offer common, secure versions of important cryptographic primitives (hash functions like SHA-1, symmetric encryption like AES, asymmetric encryption like RSA, digital signatures like DSA etc). Utilities like number theoretic primitives and secure random number generators will also be included. It will be released under a MIT type license.
To my knowlegde there is no open source cryptographic library for Common Lisp. My hope is that clc (Common Lisp Cryptography) could be a contribution to increase the number of libraries available for Common Lisp.
A friend of mine, Frode Vatvedt Fjeld (Movitz), recommended your hosting services, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Sounds great!
One comment on the project shorthand name though: the common-lisp controller seems to be usually shortened clc. I don't see this as big trouble -- since it isn't a Common-lisp.net project, and even the CLiki page for clc is untaken. To recap: clc as name is OK, but may be source of future confusion -- this is your (Tåle's) call.
