GCL should not be included in the list. It has been unmaintained for a long time and never achieved ANSI CL compliance.

Hey, new website is great. There are though a few suprises:Yes, the new site looks really nice.
I think the latest news section should have common-lisp news first. (I couldn't care less about what reddit has to say, but maybe that's just me.)
The getting started page could be a bit more inclusive (or less exclusive).
- clisp and lispworks are not listed in Resources -> Common Lisp ImplementationsThere are others missing like cmucl and gcl. What is the criteria here?
I think the order of the resources pull down should have lisp implementations first.
Resources->Libraries includes a section on implementations. That seems wrong. (Also, what is the criteria for having a link o stand compliance or conformance?)
I also random clicked on some of the projects. Quite a few are just place holders. In those cases, could they just be redirected to the git repo? It just makes the project look totally dead.
I would be kind of neat if the project pages that happen to be hosted on common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net use a uniform style. That would make the sites look really nice. (Cmucl just redirects to it's wiki page, which is better than nothing.)
The project hosting page (https://common-lisp.net/project-intro) mentions CVS access in the Table of Contents. That's all gone. Similarly, the "Repositories over the web" section mentions cvs and subversion, as the "Subversion" section. Also, the section on git repos mentions the commit list is project-cvs@common-lisp.net mailto:project-cvs@common-lisp.net. Is that true? Finally, IIRC, Trac is still available, but really rather limited, maybe even mostly read-only. (Maybe also need to update https://common-lisp.net/tools#trac.)%C2%A0 Maybe there needs to be a mention somewhere (I didn't find any) that c-l.net http://c-l.net is using gitlab. (BTW, is there a way to find out what version of gitlab is being used?)
These are just some things I noticed when looking over this new site for the first time. Many of these are probably issues with the old site, so it's kind of expected the new one has the same issues.
It looks really great, though!
- lispworks is not listed on getting started download page, but allegro is (since two free implementations are listed, it would be justified to mention two most popular commercial ones) Best regards, Daniel-- Ray
