Eric, Thanks for the prompt response. I will take a look around and see if I can help make a difference. The site and your e-mail references a "<username>" at common- lisp.net. DO I need one? How do I get one? Or is that something to deal with later? -- gak On Oct 3, 2005, at 3:05 PM, Eric Marsden wrote: >>>>>> "gk" == Gary Klimowicz <gak(a)pobox.com> writes: >>>>>> > > gk> I've been increasingly concerned over the past couple of > years about > gk> the state of the Lisp FAQ.

[lispfaq-devel] can I help?

Folks, I've been increasingly concerned over the past couple of years about the state of the Lisp FAQ. Yesterday while cleaning out my files I ran across the hideously old version (the 7-part version that hadn't been touched since 1997) and thought I would take a look around and see if there was a new project. Lo and Behold! I found this. I would like to help update this and bring the FAQ back to life. What can I do to help? -- gak
