Folks:
Alright, so all of the meeting attendees seemed to be in agreement with one another on the idea of collaborating on some kind of web software to get our site operational. We'd be interested in getting confirmation from those of you who couldn't join us physically this past Saturday.
Now, I don't know very much about web development, particularly in the context of Lisp, so I'm looking forward to gaining better insight. My first question: everyone seemed interested in AllegroServe, and there were no mentions of mod_lisp. Any reasons for this, aside from the fact that Allegro is itself written in Lisp?

Wiseman posted briefly on mod_lisp, with some good links:

I'd be interested in using AllegroServe because I've never run it before, fwiw.

I don't know about AllegroServe. When I tried mod_lisp, it turned out to be (for better or worse) a way of linking Apache to a running LISP instance. At the time, I was looking for items similar to mod_perl and mod_ruby: permitting the running of LISP inside of Apache.
I tried (and liked) Araneida; any reason why anyone didn't mention it? Araneida is the web server that is driving CLiki - and is developed by the same person. I put it on SBCL and it worked just fine.
