#12Are you looking for something like Web Noir? http://webnoir.org/
Seconded. I used it for a simple website and I liked it.

#13http://weitz.de/ hunchentoot Prepare to be blown away by Edi Weitz's libraries. Excellent code reading.
By Weitz website I just get to this. It seems interesting: http://www.quicklisp.org/beta/
Yes, quicklisp is cool. I've used it and it makes package management much easier for my tasks.
I think you are right that Clojure (and noir) is probably much newbie-friendly that Common Lisp (and hunchentoot). One aspect of the Clojure movement that I have been impressed by is that the community is open and friendly and easy to find.
I am putting more of my own time and effort into Clojure because:
1 - it runs on the JVM, so it is easier for me to sneak into my workplace than asking sys admins to install SBCL on production machines. 2 - DSLs that make me more productive (Noir, Cascalog) 3 - Books. There are several new and well-written books available on Clojure.
