I am using MACL exclusively and, like on any large Lisp
system, sometimes I have problems that are not mine.  When
I programmed on the Xerox 1100 series Lisp Machines, there
was a place where I could exchange information (and still
is), public domain hacks, complain about bugs in the system
etc.  Are there enough people using MACL to form such a group?
Since I bought Macintosh Allegro Common Lisp from a receptionist
at APDA, I have no way to ask her, for example, why the Lisp 
crashes from time to time without any apparent reason and if
the developers are aware of that and are working on fixing it.
Are there other problems people have with MACL that users and
developers at Apple should know too?  What are the known problems
that will be fixed in the next release?  When will the next release
be released?  Who is using MACL anyway?
