I have been asked a number of general questions recently by people new to
Lispms, Symbolics and Genera.  Not knowing the state of the trade which was
Symbolics (hardware support, sales or software), it occures to me that the
community of Symbolics users who communicate (presumably chiefly SLUG
participants) might be well served were we to pool resources wherever
viable.

Immediately I wondered if there was any possibility of hosting the full
Docex on the W3.  It would help many people learn about Symbolics and Lisp.
Although I have no clue as to the IPR, copyright or other issues, nor do I
have the Web resources etc.  I am game to contribute where I am able.  I
would hope that if any Symbolics trading entities do exist, this would be
seen as being in their interest (if only to keep the candle guttering for
the Lispm, or perhaps as a living museum pending it's rebirth in a socially
acceptable form).  Also, I wonder if there are any Concordia wizards out
there who know all about parsing Docex format to HTML.

I wonder what is the feasability of setting up a Symbolics machine as a
CL-HTTP server for the world.  If anyone from BT is listening, I am happy
to donate the hardware, support, power, etc. but I cannot afford the Net
access.
