Common-Lisp-POSIX on cliki

I've posted a couple of pages about Specifications of a SUSv3 API in
Common-Lisp on cliki:

Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality.

Are you aware of Daniel Barlow's efforts in similar direction? I see no
reference to his proposal or the related discussion that happened here --
so I am wondering if you are aware that is exists.

Also, have you considered using a non-authoritative name for this? If so,
than would you like to link your proposal here:
Cheers,

Well, before inserting my pages in http://www.cliki.net, I did a
search on posix and since it did not return anything, I assumed that
there was nothing in this cliki about a POSIX interface in
Common-Lisp.
How could I have guessed that there was an alternative cliki on
alu.cliki.net?
Why aren't their search motors linked?
On ALU CLiki, the page are marked with a "This is a test site."
What does that mean?
Should we use www.cliki.net or alu.cliki.net?

com-metacircle-posix:
The scope of this interface is "operating system calls on a typical
Unixlike platform".
(in addition, the approach to the API is low-level FFI)
Common-Lisp-POSIX:
The main purpose is to define a Common-Lisp SUSv3/POSIX API.
(while here we want to specify a pure lisp API).
The objective is slightly more ambitious. In the end, we could have a
document that could be submited for inclusion in the suite of POSIX
languages API.
I use the name Common-Lisp-POSIX only as a flag to rally everybody
concerned. No relation to the name of the packages.

I see no reference to my proposal there either, but I do see large
chunks of text which appear to have been copied and pasted from it
verbatim <http://www.cliki.net/cl-posix-generalities>, which I think
is either a truly incredible coincidence or a pretty good indication
that Pascal is aware of it.

Indeed, as noted at the beginning, I took notes from the newsgroup
discussion about it.
