Cl-xmpp has, sadly, fallen into disrepair. It can’t connect to anything I tried to connect oo. It’s hard to find it’s development list archives.   Common-lisp.net is working thru some troubles. FYI – you can subscribe to common-lisp.net mailing lists by adding +subscribe to the list’s name, as in cl-xmpp-devel+subscribe I built my own index to the archives as so:

cl-user> (loop for y from 2008 to 2014 do (loop for m in '("January" "February" "March" "April" "May" "June" "July" "August" "September" "October" "November" "December") as u = (format nil "http://lists.common-lisp.net/pipermail/cl-xmpp-devel/~A-~A/thread.html" y m) do (multiple-value-bind (a b) (drakma:http-request u :method :head) (declare (ignore a)) (when (= 200 b) (print u)))))

Some random patches mentioned there … I’ll have to try those.

And all I wanted to do was send an IM when ever the bouy outside of Boston harbor is forecast to have big waves.
