things to load for new users
This is mainly for online, but we might want to do this for people who have installed but are new.
Especially for common lisp users:
- include CLOS. It's supposedly an essential part of Common Lisp today?
- LISPUSERS Manager -- the entry to the filepkg/manager being things that you have to type in with 'IL:' prefixes or load is too cumbersome.... we should make it easy to get in, enter some functions, make a file, come back, load it, etc. We haven't been thinking about new users as much as we need to.
I'm not sure what other alternatives or additional things you think we should showcase?
Or maybe include them in a guided tour as another option?
and perhaps one option to start LISP.SYSOUT instead of FULL.SYSOUT if you want the old fashioned experience?
The notion of 'full.sysout' was kind of PARC oriented.
