That would be great! I just finished a small project in lisp for a course at depaul. As I worked on that project, I wasn't sure if open source projects in lisp that I was trying to use were actually maintained and under active development. Generally, I couldn't find much discussion of what people were using for lisp development. In my case, a lot of it was web development type of stuff. It would also be very helpful for me to have someone else's perspective on my code seeing as how I was alone in my effort.

I've been thinking about one of the disadvantages of using functional/syntax free languages. In particular, how normally working in a small group can be more helpfull then working alone, but often when using functional or syntax free languages, not many other people know your language.

I was wondering how many other people are working in isolation in thier lisp or functional programming projects, and what we could do about it.

Perhaps some kind of weekly private irc meeting, or voice over IP meeting, or something like that... A place where we could trade ideas, and review each others code? Part of this would depend on how many people are using the language at work, and how many employers are willing to have company code seen outside the company.

How many other people are working in isolation?

What ideas does everyone else have?
