I can't find any libraries.
I think this is one of the most serious issues which is blocking the growth of lisp use. Speaking as someone who recently gave up trying to write a book on how to use CL's libraries: locating them and knowing in advance of downloading them what their purpose is are major problems and not to be sniffed at.
To see what I mean, go to http://docs.python.org/py3k/modindex.html and click on some stuff at random. What CL has to offer should be as good as this. For all I know, maybe it is that good, but the information isn't there. How would I know? (Or am I behind the times and this has been fixed now?)
We're getting there. See http://www.quicklisp.org/
Especially, see http://www.quicklisp.org/beta/releases.html
