If anybody actually wants to listen to newcomers, rather than ignoring
any hint of deficiency in their (admittedly awesome) favorite language,
here's a couple:

1. A community standard, cross-implementation tool to find and install
libraries, ala cpan or ruby-gems.  asdf-install is close, but: A. lots
of authors dont use it and B. the sbcl version is (afaik) still not
merged with the portable version.  The difference between 'gem install
rails' and, say, manually tracking down all of the dependencies needed
for the latest UCW is phenomenal.



Is there a way to collect automatically the list of declared packages
(asdf-installable) in cliki.net?


You mean like http://www.cliki.net/asdf-install , or something more invloved?
