Announce: lisppaste 2.1.1

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello all,

Those of you who have visited #lisp on irc.freenode.net know of a 
little combination web-server and IRC bot named "lisppaste", which 
saves the channel from floods when people want to share code snippets. 
Lisppaste started out as a simple little hack using Araneida and the 
guts of weird-irc, but it has grown considerably: it has spawned a new 
library (cl-irc, based on weird-irc), added paste persistence, paste 
annotation, multiple channel support, and now RSS support and direct 
linking to the meme.b9.com IRC logs.

It is quite stable and used by many people in #lisp every day. It's 
also become a kind of persistent part of #lisp too; the paste 
annotation and paste persistence mean that people refer to and respond 
to old pastes to keep a collection of code or documents going during 
discussion. Now that it links to the meme.b9.com logs, people can 
browse back and forth between the two.

It's a fairly good example of a non-trivial web and network application 
in Common Lisp, so if you're interested in such things take a look at 
http://www.common-lisp.net/project/lisppaste . To see what the pastebot 
has acquired so far, check out http://www.common-lisp.net/paste/list , 
and to syndicate it in RSS try 
http://www.common-lisp.net/paste/list.rss .
