Anyone want to give a summary of what this community is about for those who don't speak Portuguese? I wonder how many upvotes are just because it has "Common Lisp" in the title...

I don't speak the language but I'm a Lisper, so I'll try deciphering this.

What is Common Lisp / Materials about CL / Setting up Emacs / Setting up Quicklisp / Setting up Slime / Relevant links / Appendix: Irrelevant links (:

There is also a link to what they call an official Telegram group.

The TOC is covering very basic topics such as what is CL, how to setup in your machine and there is also a link to a telegram group for discussion.

Quick glance looks like it's a starter document for Common Lisp: what is Lisp, good resources for beginners, and projects to look at.

I was going to answer, but the other comments already did :) Though most of it right now is just learning material for people new to Common Lisp, the project is actually for lispers of any level.

Yeah I initially gathered it was a list of links but was sort of curious if there was meetups / community events / hackathons described somewhere that would be interesting to look at the output of someday! e.g. The Bay Area Lisp group posts videos of talks their members give, the Lisp game jams, and so on are very interesting for someone trying to squeeze in more CL learning... But since others mentioned a Telegram link (and now that I look at it a bit more carefully I see the IRC link right below too) I hope such things will become a reality in the future. :)

I have no idea what the relationship between Brazil and Portugal is like these days but I wonder if it'd be possible to get members/resources/support/tips from SISCOG? I read somewhere that they might be the biggest Common Lisp employer, though I have no idea if they do anything for the broader community...
