Hi,
I just created a new group only for very newbies Common Lisp
Programmers.
This group is only suitable for developers trying to learn Common Lisp
as a new language, or just looking for some very basic lisp snippet of
code.
The idea is to have a corner for learning Common Lisp before becoming a
real lisp programmer that could participate here.
The group is for first level programming students, or for developers
using another programming languages like me.
I have experience in C#, VB.NET, and want to go into functional
languages, particularly Common Lisp.

greetings,

If you remove newbies from c.l.l, nobody will read c.l.l. All the
interesting staff is produced thanks to answers to newbies.
And... can you imagine Ken without newbies to bore? He would become
crazy!!

i prefer not to use web-interfaces.

His posts usually include valuable informations to the question of a
thread. Many people then start arguing about his style, but do not
provide any code or informations on the topic.

You are duplicating previous efforts. Go to groups.yahoo.com and search 
for groups with the string "lisp" in their names, for example. Maybe 
it's better to revive one of those because there are already people 
registered there.

Most of these groups are not very active (to put it nicely). The hard 
part is not to create such a group, the hard part is to keep it alive. 
This requires a lot of commitment from a handful of people.

Another comment: Maybe it's better to create a mailing list as part of 
common-lisp.net, or so.

Good luck,
Pascal

You should be able to receive c.l.l over email or send email to c.l.l.

At least this is true for other Google Groups that I have set up.
