As I recall, it was mfiano who was suggesting more collaboration in the form of community projects (not sure that was the term used). I have a suggestion for such a project, namely a Common Lisp language reference in the form of a website. I also seem to remember that gilberth agreed to take some raw text and turn it into nicely presented material with links and such.

A lot of the material can be taken from the dpANS, but lots more would need to be added in order to turn that material into a language reference.

If there were some infrastructure where contributions could be added, I could contribute, but I am no good with setting up such an infrastructure.

I think such a project is a good candidate, because it could be done incrementally, and it doesn't have to be finished in order to be useful.

I just got back from a couple weeks of brainstorming the design of an unrelated project, but, I did some work here in the past, and it might be worth seeing how much of it is stale, how much of it is usable, and how much work would be needed to continue it into a minimal viable form. I'll think about this tomorrow and take some notes on what is left that needs to be done, and all that good

I picked it up a few times in the last couple years. I think phoe is the only one I showed at one point in time. Sadly, I haven't touched it in over a year, so I'll have to see if it is even in a satisfactory form (this was during a time when I really don't like the way I was programming).

I know, and it is a lot of work, and was always on my back burner for when I needed a menial task to get my mind off of the regular flow of priority code. Now that there is an interest, maybe I'll bump it up a notch or two :)

I would think that, for people who know how to do it, the infrastructure would not be too much work, but I may be wrong of course.

I would make a comment about my experience with Common Lisp 'web' and related software, but I won't. Instead, I'll admit right now that I contributed to the problem by writing a lot of custom code, because I know how I would want it to be done, especially from a security perspective.

Should I ask questions on this mailing list <https://lists.lre.epita.fr/postorius/lists/elsconf.lrde.epita.fr/> linked on the ELS website? It's rather quiet, but I guess that could also indicate that things are going well.

There is also elsconf@european-lisp-symposium.org, and I don't know which one is right.

It's not about paper feedback; I'm looking for an official answer as to how remote presentations will work.

hayley: you submit a video, then hang out in chat for QA. There may also be a live jitsi call, but with phoe being incapacitated, I don't know what's gonna happen.

"there are chances that I will be able to do anything regarding serving as an ELS online chair/stream guardian this year due to a collision with another event - I'll be out of town and away from my comfortable multimonitor setup. So, there are chances that I will at most I'll be an online visitor."
