I have sent to Linux Weekly News (LWN) my note with a list of new
projects at Common-Lisp.net in November 2003 (scroll down to section
"Languages and Tools/Lisp"; available to non subscribers since next
Thursday):

  http://lwn.net/Articles/61492

The bayescl entry still does not include any information. I would have
liked to send monthly lists of new projects at Common-Lisp.net to LWN.
But, given that there are still more projects without any kind of
information or source code besides the name (defdoc, defmud, defwm,
defplayer and defeditor), I prefer not to do that because it may
generate bad publicity for Lisp.

Lisp is a great tool for exploratory programming. But, given even a
vague idea for a project, it shouldn't be too difficult or time
consuming to write a *half line* description of it. Is this considered
too "high ceremony" by hackers?
