I'm working on a site that aims to be a startingpoint for people wanting to start with a new programming language. I need help to define what the top five or six url's for Common Lisp people are. Google gives me an idea, but as I don't do a lot of CL myself (I do Clojure though), I'm not sure what sites to select. Please advice!

The links will apear on http://languageheap.com/common-lisp.html. The once I've currently selected are CLiki, Common Lisp Hyperspec, common-lisp.net and the Practical Common Lisp book. Maybe this forum deserves a spot?

I need the same kind of list for Scheme as well, and some url's for Lisp in general, if you have any ideas?

Re: The top 5 CL links

For Scheme, I nominate schemers.org and the Community Scheme Wiki.

Re: The top 5 CL links

The ones I visit the mose: sbcl.org, cliki.net, cl-user.net, common-lisp.net. There is also quicklisp.org, which I think is getting popular quite fast.

Re: The top 5 CL links

When I myself was a CL newbie, I found Marty Hall's Introduction and Tutorial for Common Lisp a very helpful list of Lisp documents

Another reliable information source is the Association of Lisp Users and the ALU Wiki

P.S.: http://languageheap.com/common-lisp.html is dead [???] or does the page just simply not exist yet?

Hmm, not sure what you mean, working fine at my end. :0

Iceweasel 3.5.16 (Debian Squeeze version of Firefox) says: "The server under languageheap.com needs too much time to send a response" (or similar, the text is re-translated from German to English). I will try to test this on a different machine later on.

According to this random link checker, http://www.submitshop.com/tools/linkchecker.html, the page works fine. But would love to know why it's not working for you

Re: The top 5 CL links

Sorry, this message has nothing to do with Lisp anymore...

I only wanted to tell that the problem was caused by a local subnet-router here and not by http://languageheap.com

Stupidly I don't know what the exact reason was because after localizing the router we had to wait for the maintainance window and then hurry, so we just re-booted the rooter and everything works fine now..
