Can you elaborate on which Lisp implementation and which
Lisp packages you are using to run lisp.tech.coop?
Web server, html generation,... etc.
Degree of difficulty to set up,... etc.

I have been looking for a while for a set of Lisp
tools (open source) that will be straight forward
to set up but so far i haven't found any.

All these processes seem to be very complex in the Lisp world.
Setting up this package, and that package, and the other...
just to do a web app. Perhaps not so complex for Lisp gurus
but can be very discouraging to others.

On the other hand, I have set up the PLT Scheme web server
without much difficulty and it does work.
