Just for the enlightenment of the clueless, what happened to this
effort? http://clrfi.alu.org/
I'd agree we need something like this (I suppose I'm part of the
voluminous proposals you refer to) but it needs to be well structured,
well organized, and have the active support of enough of the Lisp
community to have moral authority. Probably the best way is to create
good proposals. Also, perhaps the commercial Lisp vendors would have
some interest in such a process, as well as the resources to do high
quality work?
