+articulate-lisp.com is designed to fill a gap in the current
+(2012-2015) resources for getting started with Common Lisp. It's the
+work of mostly one person (Paul Nathan) so far, and represents his
+best efforts and knowledge at this point in time.
+
+In particular, the style and idioms should not be taken as some
+mythical best practice, only what has worked for the author in the
+past.
+
+Feedback of all sorts will be gratefully welcomed. Contributions and
+bug reports should be done via the Github location for maximum
+coordination.
+
+Happy hacking!

+<p>One of the key problems in onboarding developers to use modern Common Lisp is the vertical wall of difficulty. Things that are routinely problematic:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>emacs use. Most people don&#8217;t use emacs.</li>
+  <li>Library creation. Putting together ASDF libraries and using them is a fairly horrid experience the first time.</li>
+  <li>Selection of Lisp system to use, along with an up-to-date discussion of pros and cons.</li>
+  <li>Putting together serious projects is not commonly discussed.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>This site is dedicated to handling these problems. My goal is to put together an introduction/tutorial for practicing professionals and hobbyists from other languages. People who want to get started with Lisp beyond just typing into a REPL. Right now, it feels like this information is less disseminated and much less centralized than it otherwise might be. It&#8217;s not intended to be a HOWTO for Common Lisp. That&#8217;s been covered <em>quite well</em>. But it is intended to be a HOWTO on how to put together a Lisp <strong>environment</strong>.</p>
+<p>Anyway, I&#8217;d like to collaborate with other people to make this a remarkably fine Lisp help site. Contributions are both <strong>accepted</strong> and <strong>welcome</strong>. It&#8217;s a wholly static site at this point in time - I don&#8217;t see a need for articulate-lisp.com to have a dynamic backend. Perhaps/probably one of the code examples will be a webapp.</p>
