The charter sounds great. Minimal is good. I'd mostly like to see an opportunity to talk with people about Lisp and specific problems or bugs in my Lisp code. Especially I want to talk about configuration and library issues since these are areas that wise people are hesitant to comment candidly on in online forums and web pages. The key phrase, "...but I wouldn't do it that way." is much more often heard in person than in online forums. As someone mentioned, some kind of "open hacking night" would be really great.
Would those of you on this list who have been quiet mind to comment?
Do you agree with the proposed minimal charter? (i.e., is the above additional clause redundant due to it being implied by the very existence of this a group?)
What are your expectations and desires for a group?
Thanks, -Daniel
