@louis@emacs.ch I believe we, as a community, could create an equivalent to PHP's composer for Common Lisp. We don't need foundations, organisations or committees.

ASDF is a very good starting point. It helps define and sort of standardise packages. We only need to improve on it a bit (add proper dependency management, for example) and then create a standard API for Common Lisp repositories where developers can download packages and get info on them (i.e., discoverability), and a script to access that API.

OCICL appears to be the step in that direction, it looks fairly easy to setup your own OCI repo. But then again, there are at least two utilities to set up Quicklisp dist of your own.
