Parse the TeX sources of the spec and produce something better than the CLHS.

I recall @phoe-krk working on a better version of CLHS; maybe you two could join forces?

EDIT: his current work looks like this: http://phoe.tymoon.eu/clus/doku.php.

Yes - I succeeded in machine-parsing the files of the draft and turning them into simple wiki markup using a set of regexes, as @TeMPOraL pointed out above. They of course still need a lot of handiwork, but they're mostly done.

I say we should join forces to avoid the Lisp curse of everyone doing their own thing and to actually have someone to rely on while working on giving CL a proper and contemporary specification.

I agree wholeheartedly with the suggestion to merge @phoe-krk's into the lisp-lang site. It seems to me that CL as a whole needs a much of a contemporary, professional and 'cared-for' look than it's currently getting.

@britishempire thanks for reminding me that I need to work more on this. xD I'll try to push a few more pages today.

@vermiculus Ha, you reminded me of this issue! Yes, CLUS is progressing fast. You might want to use its sources or link to the deployed version at http://phoe.tymoon.eu/clus/doku.php

@phoe 😄 by the way, would you mind chatting about this suggestion? I have POC working in Elisp (which may ultimately be better-suited for the text-processing required).

@vermiculus responded. Thanks!
