Hi,
I am new to Common Lisp but am an experienced programmer. I want
to learn Lisp by developing a useful open source web application
in Lisp in the next year or two. I like the http://paste.lisp.org and
http://meme.b9.com lisp web applications and want to write
something like them which people can use.
But I also want the application that I write to provide library/
package which may be missing or does not have a very good in
implementation in Common Lisp.
Please suggest some ideas for such a project.

An API for AJAX-style web user interfaces could be interesting.

I took a quick look at Cliki and found cl-ajax http://www.cliki.net/cl-ajax
.. The description says it is a common lisp library for remote invocations
of functions through Javascript. Would that suit your needs?

So for example, implement a web-based IDE for Common Lisp. [1]

I think SLIME can connect through TCP/IP Sockets to remote machines. So a
browser based IDE may not be that useful. However an introduction to CL via
a browser based tutorial would be very cool. See similar introduction for
the Ruby language here http://tryruby.hobix.com/

I am thinking of an Atom parser for CL. Something like the feedparser library
http://www.feedparser.org for Python. I did have a look at Cliki and
cl-user.net for Atom or RSS APIs but could not find any. I think this could
be a good starter project for me.
